While Emma's observation may indeed be correct, I would like to again point out that the proposed device is in conflict with another registered device you did not bring up.  Specifically :

Andrew Roriksson
The following device associated with this name was registered in April of 1999 (via Atlantia):
Sable, a bow nocked of an arrow Or.

There is 1 CD for change of field, but no other CDs as "a longbow nocked with an arrow and drawn Or" is just a longer way of saying "a bow nocked of an arrow Or" because by default bows are strung and drawn and are longbows.  So while you may or may not be clear of the conflict vs the device you brought up, you are NOT clear of Andrew Roriksson.
