Karna's bow on Sony

So this serial called SURYAPUTRA KARN is being telecast on Sony.
Made by the same person who had made Mahabharat on Star Plus.
And now when I think back, Mahabharat also had similar bows.

How does a bow work? Now a days there are compound bows. Bows that have pulleys , cable systems that help the arrow leave the bow.

But the serial is showing the simple bows. Kind of the bows that we used to make from a piece of bamboo and string. And reeds for arrows.

The bow here looks like a complex machine. And the bow string is complex, composed of multiple ropes. Saw a promo today of Karna trying to shoot an arrow. No wonder the arrows are CGI. Else they would just drop off.

Today the fridge is cleared off the leftovers. Chicken, rice, dal, vegetables and rice all finished. And also the avocados.
