There are versions also used in southern China.

I don't think this is a pellet bow as the string is not correct. Here are a couple of pellet bows and they use a double string.

Here are a couple of bows from the same area that seem to use arrows. Very similar to the original one shown in this thread. I'm not sure if they are wall hangers or not, but i suspect they may well be functional bows for small game.

Good possible David, like mentioned, it's not my knowledge, but I will ask my friend again.
