(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
(See also the article on economist Kenneth Arrow.)An arrow is a projectile that is shot with a bow. It predates history and is common to most cultures.
An arrow is a long and thin formerly of wood now, aluminum or carbon fiber matrix are common materials, pointed (or armed with an arrowhead if the purpose is hunting rather than target-shooting) at one end and with a notch in the other. Near the notch end are vanes (often three but amany fletchings have four or even more), originally made from feathers but now often made of plastic, which keep the arrow pointed in the direction of travel.
To shoot an arrow with a conventional (long) bow, place the string of the bow in the notch of the arrow, rest the shaft of the arrow against the body of the bow (on its right side if you are right-handed), if there are an odd number of vanes be sure that the arrow is oriented so that one vane is directly opposite the body of the bow, pull back on the string, and let go. Right-handed people hold the bow with their left hand, have their left side facing the target, sight along the arrow (towards the target) with their left eye, and handle the arrow and string with their right hand. The left wrist should be bent outward so that the returning string doesn't scrape the inside of the wrist or catch on a wrist-guard.
Somebody else supply how-to for using a crossbow and maybe something on how arrows differ from darts.
An arrow is a universally recognized symbol for directional movement.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | CUPID, n. The so-called god of love. This bastard creation of a barbarous fancy was no doubt inflicted upon mythology for the sins of its deities. Of all unbeautiful and inappropriate conceptions this is the most reasonless and offensive. The notion of symbolizing sexual love by a semisexless babe, and comparing the pains of passion to the wounds of an arrow -- of introducing this pudgy homunculus into art grossly to materialize the subtle spirit and suggestion of the work -- this is eminently worthy of the age that, giving it birth, laid it on the doorstep of prosperity. |
