A long slender bow that must be fired pretty far for good accuracy. It will then provide a hefty punch.

Shooting

This weapon is best used at 20 tiles range, or 80 m when looking through a spyglass. It requires a minimum range of 10 tiles. Higher skill in this weapon gives more shooting options when used. The long bow has the furthest range of hand-held weapons in game. Long bows at a long range can give very nasty wounds with a good enough bow. The maximum range seems to be 50 tiles from the target unless aided by a spyglass.

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.
