hey /k/, frenchfag here. i was in my garden, when suddenly there was a massive rainstorm. thunder broke out, so i got scared and surrendered to the nearest VW dealership.

now that i got your attention, i was curious to find out if my newly-purchased bow (very basic initech 22lb recurve) could have any defensive capabilities. i live in the countryside, where gypsies and petty thieves are rare, but present. my aim is ok, considering i can hit something at approx. 30 meters. would i do any damage to said intruders? the arrows i use are pointy (duur)
