The sound cut through the forest like a wire being snapped, the sharp whistle of an arrow in flight, followed immediately by a solid THOOM! as it struck the Bogart in the neck.
The arrow buried itself deep in the thick muscle just below the creature's jaw.
The Bogart's hide was tough, thick enough that ordinary arrows often struggled to penetrate deeply.
It would penetrate eventually, given enough attempts, enough force and enough arrows hitting the same general area, but you would need multiple attempts.
One arrow, even a well-placed one, might only sink an inch or two before the resistance stopped it. The hide was thick. Swords seemed to be more effective though.
A hunter facing a Bogart with a standard bow would need to land several shots in the exact same spot just to get through.
