Both are metal piled and fletched with three half-feathers, from the wings of the Vosk gulls. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 8, Sentence #11)

I counted the arrows. There were seventy arrows, fifty of which were sheaf arrows, twenty flight arrows. The Gorean sheaf arrow is slightly over a yard long, the flight arrow is about forty inches in length. Both are metal piled and fletched with three half-feathers, from the wings of the Vosk gulls. Mixed in with the arrows were the leather tab, with its two openings for the right forefinger and the middle finger, and the leather bracer, to shield the left forearm from the flashing string. I had told Telima to make the rence craft sturdy, wider than usual, stabler. I was not a rencer and, when possible, when using the bow, I intended to stand; indeed, it is difficult to draw the bow cleanly in any but a standing position; it is not the small, straight bow used in hunting light game, tabuk, slaves, and such. - (Raiders of Gor)
