I have many feathers to help me fly.
I have a body and head, but I'm not alive.

You can hold me in your hand, but I'm never thrown.

1. Many arrows have plastic fletching instead of feather as they are more durable.
2. No part of an arrow is called either a head or a body. the componants of an arrow are kock end, shaft, pile, fletchings, cock fletching.
3. it is the draw weight of the bow that determines the distance covered by and arrow. on certain specialist bows no actual strength from the archer is requireed. I have instructed severly handicapped children with no upper body strength and they have still amnaged to get the arrow to travel the required distance.
Sorry to sound picky but the whole teaser just does not stand up.

I agree that it should be a badminton birdie. That's what I thought of.
