The arrow shiva shot from his bow, he holds one in one of his arms. 
here u can see Ram breaking Shiva's bow, I think it is a hindu myth about Shiva shooting an arrow at something, and his bow being able to kill anything.

So the fact that he is a myth is part of God. __________________ www.prince911.deviantart.com

What exactly is Shiva's Arrow ? |
in the Rg Veda, Shiva (Rudra) is an archer, who's arrow destroys darkness by bringing light.
i would guess that it's a metaphor, taken from commonly understood mythology of the time.
Guru - Gu (darkness) Ru (light), he who removes darkness with light.
my uneducated guess is that shiva's arrow is a metaphor for guru. because both remove darkness with light. __________________ -Archived_Member

The closest story which I found is from Shiva Purana :-
BIRTH OF PARVATI: When Sati ends her life by immersing herself in the yagna fire, she is reborn as Parvati, the daughter of a great king Himavat, ruler of the Himalayas. Parvati has a great desire to marry Lord Shiva so she goes to the place where he is meditating and begins to serve him. ** TARAKASURA: This is the tale of an asura called Tarakasura. Because of his desire to become immortal he does severe penance and finally Brahma grants him a boon that only Shiva's son will be able to kill him. Rendered almost immortal. Tarakasura begins to wreck havoc and harasses all the Devas including Indra. ** SHIVA AND PARVATI: Upon Brahma's advice, Indra requests Kama and Rati, the Gods of love, to make Shiva fall in love with Parvati. Kama tries to aim his arrow at Shiva but Shiva. in his fury, burns Kama to ashes. Finally Parvati herself wins Shiva's heart by doing severe penance. With her father's permission Shiva and Parvati marry. | |
