Arrowhead

What would actually be the optimal arrowhead against zombies?

Bodkin for skull penetration?

Broadhead for maximum damage?

Blunt tip for pure impact trauma?

Or a fire arrow, because style points still matter at the end of the world?

And the follow-up question: what draw weight would you use for each arrowhead type?

I need your most serious unserious answers, wild theories, and totally over-engineered zombie survival builds.

Bonus question what traditionelle bow would you favor?

I hate fight clubs!

You always get sucked into it without any chance to block it. You wait forever to get your turn. Then you get backstabbed by the host’s friend. And it feels like in every tenth fight club, the host or one of his mates is cheating.

Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest.

Khatra

Hi everyone,

I have a tournament coming up in less than a month, and I’m still struggling a bit with khatra / bow hand movement.

I’m a right-handed archer, and sometimes my arrows still land noticeably to the right. The confusing part is that my arrows seem to match my bow quite well: when I look along the shaft, the arrow generally lands where it should. So I don’t think the main problem is spine or arrow tuning.

My question is more about the actual mechanics of khatra:

How exactly should the bow hand movement work?

Which muscles should I actively engage, and which parts should stay relaxed?

Should the movement come mainly from the wrist, the forearm rotation, the shoulder, or a combination of these?

I’m especially interested in practical cues or drills that help make the movement consistent. I understand that khatra should not be a forced “flick,” but I’m not sure what I should actually feel in the hand and arm when it is done correctly.

Any advice would be very helpful, especially from people who shoot thumb draw / Asiatic-style bows and have dealt with arrows drifting right.

Thanks!
