\subsection{The Long Bow}\index{Projectiles!Bow}\index{Bows}
Long bows (or `hunting bows') are difficult things to work but well worth it once the archer practices enough. To pull back the heavy load on a long bow takes 2 \glspl{round}, and the arrow flies at the very end of the second turn. Each bow has its own Strength rating and anyone without at least that much Strength cannot use the bow; the bows deal $1D6$ +Strength Rating. So if a bow has a Strength rating of 2 then it deals $1D6+2$ Damage but requires a Strength of 2, at least, to operate. Having a Strength of 3 will not increase the Damage.

Long bows can be fired for hundreds of yards -- the maximum range is generally more determined by the archer's ability to aim than by the range of the bow.
