a bow string
To shoot a bow and arrow you take the notch of your arrow and put it on the bow string. Then you grab the handle with your weaker arm of the bow and grab the string with the other hand. Hold the arrow between your middle finger and pointer finger. Then you rest the arrow on your hand or handle of the bow. You pull the sting back using only your three middle fingers. Then aim and release the string. That's all to it!
Bungee cord would not be of any use as a bow string, strings are not elastic! Traditionally longbow strings were made of linen thread, several strands heavily waxed, there really are no other suitable "Household" materials, that I know of. Bowstring material must be immensely strong, and it is really necessary to use commercially available thread to make a string. Dental floss is a good analog readily available. Typically you would use a pegged board and take 10 or 12 strands of thread or floss and then wrap that with more thread or floss.
