arrows
Bow's flying partners
Arrows are projectiles shot from bows—a shaft with a pointed tip and stabilizing fletching.
The shape gives us arrows as directional symbols: arrows on signs, arrows in diagrams, the cursor arrow on a screen.
To arrow through something is to move swiftly and directly.
Straight as an arrow means perfectly aligned.
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are life's misfortunes.
