About the Arrow

An arrow is a long and thin stick with a sharp point at one end and feathered fins at the other end.

It is used as a weapon or for sports like archery. The pointed end of the arrow is aimed at a target and then released from a bow.

The fins on the other end help the arrow fly straight through the air.

Arrows can be made of different materials like wood, metal, or carbon fiber, and their size and shape can vary depending on their purpose.
