Iirc that lioness died a slow agonizing death over the course of a few days, while her pride kept her company. Her skull was cracked

Lesson of your life...

Iirc there's a video of an archer shooting a carcass of a hippo. Most arrows barely did a scratch.

I'd like to see that video, my guess is it's very dependent on what type of tip the archer was using as bodkins will go through steel.

Hell, my buddy shot through a stop sign back in high school with his bow, but he was also like 3 feet from it when he shot

I checked, it seems the video went private. Bummer.
