This would make it easier for him to get the arrow back?
He does not need to get it back lol. He just lays it in the groove.

Looked online and did this comparison:
Compound bows
- draw weight is usually 50-80 lbs
- Single man (obviously)
- They shoot up to 60 yards (effectively)
- Average arrow size is 25-27 (just over 2 feet) inches at a weight of 18 grams
Ballista
- Draw weight average was at 4,500-4,700 lbs.
- They were often crewed by 2 or 3 men.
- They'd shoot up to 500 yards (300-350 yards effectively)
- Ballista bolt was 4 to 6 feet long and weighed up to 10 pounds.

But I still refuse to believe a lake drops off that drastically, idc about fantasy or fiction.
Yeah, obv this is fiction so stuff is taken at liberty.
We can either assume Bronn has super human strength or that the maester engineered some way that made it be able to be manned by 1 person. The bow clearly traveled, at least least seemingly, further than 500 yards, so we assume the latter and that the maester is an engineering genius.
In conclusion, the arrow doesnt weigh that much and Wes is a dumbass.
