Odysseus shot the suitors with his bow and arrows.
He shot the arrow through 12 axe heads
1. (XXI.85-) When Penelope sets out the axes and challenges the suitors to archery, knowing only Odysseus will be able to shoot it. 2. (XXIII.197-202) Penelope commands Eurycleia to move the unmovable bed (that Odysseus himself built) so that Odysseus (before Penelope believes it to be him) will have sleeping accomodations. Odysseus then opposes that idea, claiming that the bed cannot be moved, convincing Penelope that it truly is Odysseus. Only Odysseus, Penelope, and Eurycleia know about the bed being unmovable.
Odysseus had asked his son to lock the armory so that the suitors cannot defend themselves. After successfully shooting an arrow through the holes of the twelve axes, Odysseus shoots Antinous in the throat, and the suitors realize who the beggar - Odysseus - is. They try to flee, then attempt to get Odysseus away from the door so that they can escape. While Odysseus continues to shoot the suitors down, his son, Telemachus, gets spears and shields from the armory. After Odysseus runs out of arrows, he and his son use the spears to kill the suitors. They are helped by two servants. Eventually, Athena, goddess of war, makes her presence known in the form of a shield, and the suitors give up hope, and are slaughtered. Odysseus had killed 108 men, including 12 servants who had betrayed Odysseus (the maids had slept with the suitors, and a servant had mocked Odysseus when he was a beggar).
Not only does he emasculate the suitors by being the only one able to string his bow and shoot the arrow through the axes, he kills every last one.

No where. HOW ABOUT YOUR CAROTID ARTERY IN YOUR NECK?

you grab one in the neck and then shoot it in the head
Shoot it.or cut it's neck you person
Think of it this way, if a living corpse with giant bolts in its neck was walking around, would you shoot it?
It is a reference to Elpenor.
on line 420, Odysseus tells Telemachus that he could shoot string the bow because he was still strong....i hope this helped
