English

Pronunciation

(UK) IPA^(key): /ˈbəʊ ən(d) ˈæɹəʊ/

Noun

bow and arrow (plural bows and arrows)

A weapon consisting of a bow and a supply of arrows, often kept in a quiver.
- 2013 July 20, “Old soldiers?”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8845:
  Whether modern, industrial man is less or more warlike than his hunter-gatherer ancestors is impossible to determine. The machine gun is so much more lethal than the bow and arrow that comparisons are meaningless.
