It is one arrow but with two strings, slower loading time, but can be used in more confined space and the bow will last longer.

Description

Double-Bow

which is in use by many units in the Amazon factions in this mod. This is a weapon appeared in ancient Hindu as well as Persian manuscripts. The deployment of such weapon is perhaps much more ancient than the date of the manuscripts. The primary advantage of the double-bow is to allow archers with shorter arms (or equestrian with confined space such as on the horseback or on a chariot) to achieve parity against bow of longer draw. The simple physics is that the longer the draw of the bow, the faster and farther the arrow (or missile) will go. The other way to make the missile to go faster with shorter draw is to add more poundage onto the bow. As the poundage increases, however, the limbs and the bowstring will go through much faster rate of wear and tear and therefore break down much more frequently. The archer shooting higher poundage bow will also get tired quicker in battle than an archer pulling two strings (of lesser poundage) twice. So the Double-Bow, or the Double Draw Bow is introduced as a solution.
