No, not the Archer rampage we all know and love.  Some guy with a bow and arrow.

Oh, great. So now we have to worry about whether we're entering bow-free zones?

Ever since our earlier thread where I learned about the penetration power of a broadhead, I have a new respect for the deadly potential of a bow and arrow.

I just saw a Cabela's ad for a crossbow that will shoot an arrow (or is it a bolt?) at over 500 ft/sec.

Price was around $3k . . . https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/ravin-crossbows-r500-crossbow-package

The one picture of an arrow I saw it looked like a target tip.  For an attack like that I’m surprised he didn’t use hunting broadheads.

A man arrested over a deadly bow and arrow attack in Norway had converted to Islam and there were fears he had been radicalised, police have said.

Any word on if he used Jorg Sprave's little bow magazine invention?
