He rides close to the animal, not a yard from its side, just outside the hooking range of the trident, to supplement the striking power of his small bow. - (Savages of Gor, Chapter 1, Sentence #941)

It is a gigantic, dangerous beast, often standing from twenty to twenty-five hands at the shoulder and weighing as much as four thousand pounds. It is almost never hunted on foot except in deep snow, in which it is almost helpless. From kaiilaback, riding beside the stampeded animal, however, the skilled hunter can kill one with a single arrow. He rides close to the animal, not a yard from its side, just outside the hooking range of the trident, to supplement the striking power of his small bow. At this range the arrow can sink in to the feathers. Ideally it strikes into the intestinal cavity behind the last rib, producing large-scale internal hemorrhaging, or closely behind the left shoulder blade, thence piercing the eight-valved heart. The hunting arrow, incidentally, has a long, tapering point, and this point is firmly fastened to the shaft. - (Savages of Gor)
