Maybe his old arrows were not a good match for his new bow. They could have been incompatible for some reason. Maybe they were too heavy for a wooden bow or something.

Yeah - I'd thought of that, and that's probably the answer. I just had never thought about it before last night when reading it with my 4 year old who is into bows and arrows right now.
What were arrows normally made of in the middle east around 600BC? I guess I've always assumed that arrows were made of wood until aluminum was available...
I remember going to a medival recreation village in junior high. One of the guys there was teaching us about bows and arrows. He held up a bow in his right and and said, "This is a bow." Then he held up an arrow in his left, "And this is an arrow." Then he said, about both the bow and arrow, "This is not a bow-'n-arrow."
