👉 A string weapon, often referred to as a bow and arrow or simply an arrow, is a projectile weapon that uses a flexible string to store and release energy for launching arrows or other projectiles. These weapons consist of a shaft (the bow), a fletching (feathers or plastic vanes for stability), and a pointy tip (the arrow). When the archer draws back the string, it stores potential energy, which is then released upon release, propelling the arrow with considerable force and accuracy. The design and materials of the string, as well as the arrow itself, can greatly influence the weapon's performance, making it a versatile and historically significant tool for hunting, warfare, and sport.
