The Solenarion was a fixed arrow-guide. Some suggest the Arcuballista or manuballista was as well, although I am more inclined to think they were crossbows.

This technique is incredibly close to the ancient Korean use of the "baby arrow." For a great movie on the use of the composite bow and this arrow, see the film War of the Arrows (2011, Korean)
