When the string is pulled back, it has a lot of potential energy. When you let go of the string, only a tiny amount is transferred to the arrow. Three arrows or one, they're just tiny pieces of wood. The energy in the bow is so great that it will not be used up by pushing them, so they're all going to have the same force behind them.

Understand? If not, I'll try to help you understand better.
