Haha. Nope. It would be more :-D

That's what we've been arguing about this whole time. That if we used three arrows the force would be divided by three. Which isn't true.

They'd each individually have the same force behind them as if you shot a single arrow. Therefore, if they've all got the same force, and you're shooting three, there's going to be three times the force. Again, this is because the full potential energy that a heavy bow posesses is never fully utilized by one arrow or three for that matter.
