Trick Arrows?

I was reading up on Green Arrow, and I saw an article that said he doesn't use trick arrows anymore? I was just wondering if this was true?

I think he ditched them when he started training with Conner to be a better all around fighter. I could be wrong though, I don't read Green Arrow.

And if it is the case....how does he fight without killing people? Unless he's started being like the Punisher after Cry For Justice....

 

I read Green Arrow I just haven't picked up any titles recently....

  He doesn't use trick arrows anymore, but every once in awhile he'll bring one back, specifically the Boxing Glove Arrow.  He did have a couple in his V3 Series, until he lost all his money.

You just started reading Arrow??
 
You need to read the "Longbow Hunters" arc......it's pretty much essential, oh, and I don't know the answer to your question. I can only assume that he still uses gas arrows an stuff like that, just no ridiculous "boxing glove" arrows or anything like that, You can put people down with regular arrows without it being fatal (only in movies or comics)

@primepower53:  He's pretty lethal with his arrows, but he's so accurate, he know's where to hit without killing, it's all in his aim.

His 'trick arrows' are usually just explosive arrows these days, like how it was in JL animated. For a while he wielded a katana too.

He stopped using them during the Longbow Hunters. He started using them again when he came back to life along with normal arrows.  He generally uses normal ones.

He recently left the forest, so now that he's fighting in an urban environment again, he'll probably need some variety in his weapons. Also, in the letters column of a recent issue, they said the trick arrows would be coming back.
