The bow had become non-existent from the first torpedo, the second struck midship on the starboard side neighboring a fuel tank and powder magazine. The subsequent explosion split the ship straight down to the keel, knocking out all electric power. Within minutes she went down swiftly by the bow, listing hard to starboard. Of the 1,196 souls aboard, about 900 made it into the water during those few minutes, before she sank. Few life rafts were able to be released from their staging positions.…

After that she uses a type of purple voodoo magic to keep me from using my legs. I thought she only used bow and arrows! She throws a purple source at the building, and it explodes. Millions of ashes explode into the air. It would be unlikely if anyone around that building survived. Adwoa digs her hands into the ground and breaks the floor open.

She was dressed in a long green dress with a laced bodice and she had a large green hooded cloak to match. She chose green because it served as a camouflage among trees.…

A slightly heavier draw length bow will make the arrow go through the air faster. Arrows are made of low density material. Carbon is less flexible and lighter than aluminium, which means that an arrow's diameter can be thinner making it more aerodynamic. Less mass= More speed The less the arrow weighs the faster the energy can make the arrow accelerate. A bow puts energy to a heavier arrow better than a light arrow. Every time you decrease 1” in draw length, you lose up to 10fps of arrow…

versions of the stringed bass varied greatly in shape, size, tuning, playing techniques, and number of strings. Most of these issues were not agreed upon until early in the 20th century and some still persist today. Exploring the history of the bass we’ll discover how a simple hunting bow transitioned into the realm of music and spawned a new style of instrument that would eventually produce the modern day bass. We’ll examine the significant moments in the history of the bass to discuss topics…

Yesterday, had been my last day to practice and I knew I was ready, I packed food, water, my bow, my atlatl, and my will to succeed. When I was little, I had always dreamed of going on one of these trips, going out…

My hands are white from the numbing wind; the gusts pricking my face that sends a cold chill down my spine. As I lose the feeling of my face and my eyes begin to water, I only have one thing in mind, venison. I arrive to the grove, and make shelter behind a large oak. I scan the…
