A slightly heavier draw length bow will make the arrow go through the air faster. Arrows are made of low density material. Carbon is less flexible and lighter than aluminium, which means that an arrow's diameter can be thinner making it more aerodynamic. Less mass= More speed The less the arrow weighs the faster the energy can make the arrow accelerate. A bow puts energy to a heavier arrow better than a light arrow. Every time you decrease 1” in draw length, you lose up to 10fps of arrow…

The “bow” part of the crossbow was attached to the front part of the stock. Right in back of the “bow” was the bolt, or medieval arrow of the crossbow…

As I am crawling through the cornfield stubble on a cold December evening, with my bow clenched tightly in my right fist, I become more aware of the hard dirt stabbing into my knees as I inch my way towards the grove. My hands are white from the numbing wind; the gusts pricking my face that sends a cold chill down my spine. As I lose the feeling of my face and my eyes begin to water, I only have one thing in mind, venison. I arrive to the grove, and make shelter behind a large oak. I scan the…

The bow had become non-existent from the first torpedo, the second struck midship on the starboard side neighboring a fuel tank and powder magazine. The subsequent explosion split the ship straight down to the keel, knocking out all electric power. Within minutes she went down swiftly by the bow, listing hard to starboard. Of the 1,196 souls aboard, about 900 made it into the water during those few minutes, before she sank. Few life rafts were able to be released from their staging positions.…
