All I know is that if there's a zombie outbreak I want an olympic archer with me for when we run out of ammo.

  You're right; it's not like bows require ammo. I'm sure arrows would be real effective against zombies too :)

    arrows can be made much more easily than bullets. and yes, broadheads would work against zombies.

      How do you know?

        You wouldn't have the hydrostatic shock that a bullet provides, but if the grey matter disruption of a small-calibre round to the head is sufficient to drop a zombie, a heavy draw bow and a broadhead oughta work, too--and the arrow might be more re-usable than a bullet.

    You can't reuse bullets.
