Description
An elegant, small and quick bow that will fire moderately far with good accuracy.
Shooting
This weapon is best used at 5 tiles range, or 20m when looking through a spyglass. Higher skill in this weapon gives more shooting options when used.
Bows must be wielded in your hands to be fired. Bows are two handed weapons, and cannot be equipped unless both hands are empty and you aren't wearing a shield.
See the archery page for more.
Storage
Can be stored in a bow rack or in a large chest.
