Had I used a broad-headed arrow, or the Tuchuk barbed arrow, one would, in removing it, commonly thrust the arrow completely through the wound, drawing it out feathers last. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 8, Sentence #243)

"Get the arrows," I told Telima. I had used simple-pile arrows, which may be withdrawn from a wound. The simple pile gives greater penetration. Had I used a broad-headed arrow, or the Tuchuk barbed arrow, one would, in removing it, commonly thrust the arrow completely through the wound, drawing it out feathers last. One is, accordingly, in such cases, less likely to lose the point in the body. Telima, one by one, as we passed those that had fallen to the great bow, drew from their bodies the arrows, adding them to those she carried. And so I, with my shield and sword, helmeted, followed by Telima, a rence girl, carrying the great bow, with its arrows, many of them now bloodied, taken from the bodies of those of Port Kar, moved from barge to barge. - (Raiders of Gor)
