I have a new D&D character and he has a bow named "One shot, One kill". Can someone translate this name into elvish please?

Which type of Elvish, Quenya or Sindarin? Also, you might be able to puzzle something out on your own with the following resources:

I hope you don't want all that be put into one single word... If I want to be playful I'd say Erlehta Ernahta "one-release one-kill". In Quenya.

+Anthony Carlson that may be good enough for a D&D weapon name if you aren’t super concerned for accuracy. All right that matters is that it sounds good to you. Or you could use +Tamas Ferencz suggestion above which is closer to Quenya (High Elvish) as it appeared in the Lord of the Rings.
