1	----
2	'''ArrowCatch''': Someone catches an arrow with their bare hands.
3	* '''Straight''': Someone fires an arrow at Bob, and he snatches it out of the air.
4	* '''Exaggerated''':
5	** The “arrow” is bigger than Bob is.
6	** Bob snatches an arrow [[BadassBack without even turning around]] [[KungFuClairvoyance to look at the firer. ]]
7	** Bob catches a RainOfArrows.
8	* '''Downplayed''':
9	** It’s part of a stunt, and the arrow was docked to make it slower.
10	** Bob grabs the arrow and is unable to keep it [[EyeScream out of his eye]], but he does prevent it from piercing his brain.
11	* '''Justified''':
12	** Bob is a LightningBruiser who is both fast and strong enough to pull this off.
13	** The arrow was a HomingProjectile; if he dodged it, it would just have come back for [[BoomerangComeback another swing.]]
14	** Bob was far enough away that the arrow slowed down enough for him to catch it.
15	* '''Inverted''':
16	** Bob throws an arrow.
17	** Bob is [[KnifeOutline caught by arrows.]]
18	* '''Subverted''': Bob tries this… and fails, the arrow slipping out of his hand.
19	* '''Double Subverted''': Alice is behind him and catches it for him.
20	* '''Parodied''':
21	** [[RainOfArrows An army fires at Bob]]. Bob catches every single arrow… and then collapses under the weight. The army claims a moral victory.
22	** Bob catches a flaming arrow... and [[FailedAttemptAtDrama then bounces it around in his hands because it's too hot to hold.]]
23	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
24	* '''Averted''': No arrows are even attempted to be caught.
25	* '''Enforced''': It’s used to balance an MMORPG game, as the monk class had no real defence against arrows before they added this ability.
26	* '''Lampshaded''': “You know that’s sharp, right?”
27	* '''Invoked''': Bob does it to intimidate his enemies.
28	* '''Exploited''':
29	** CatchAndReturn.
30	** Alice fires a TrickArrow at Bob, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard knowing it will explode in his hands.]]
31	* '''Defied''':
32	** “Even if I did catch it, I’d have to be fast enough to dodge out the way to do it in the first place… so why would I bother?”
33	** Alice fires 3 arrows at once, knowing Bob will run out of arms before she runs out of projectiles.
34	* '''Discussed''': “Is it true you can pluck arrows out of the air like rice?”
35	* '''Conversed''': ???
36	* '''Deconstructed''': Bob catches the arrow… [[ImpaledPalm in his arm.]] It turns out he’s fast enough to catch them, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers but not strong enough to prevent damage]], and he’s told not to try it again, even though the arrow would have gone in his head otherwise. Even with SuperSpeed, Dodging is BoringButPractical.
37	* '''Reconstructed''': Bob puts his hand in a gauntlet, and when he’s backed into a corner, he proves his first attempt was not a fluke.
