What kind of blow can fling a 6ft arrow? That’s more like a javelin!
Some kind of spear, yeah. Now that you mention it, that’s much more likely.
Before your comment reimposed reality, This Guy had been vaguely imagining a monstrously long Long Bow. How else to chuck an arrow that long? LOL
Most the bowes they use are good for birds and lizzards, or very small prey.
