The image captures the essence of archery during the Mahabharata era:

Archery, a dominant warfare skill during the Mahabharata era, showcased the pinnacle of martial prowess in Dwapara Yuga.

The art of archery was revered and honed by masters like Parasurama, Agnivesha, and Dronacharya, who trained legendary warriors to become exceptional marksmen.

Among these, Drona’s legacy stood out, as he molded the princes of Aryavarth, particularly Arjuna, into unparalleled archers. The bow, a symbol of power and precision, became the primary weapon in battles, allowing warriors to strike down enemies from great distances.

Arrows, crafted from iron and bamboo, could fly at speeds of 80 m/s, delivering deadly blows to enemies over 180 meters away.
