Bows

Bows are reported as the quiet ranged option. In a game where wildlife is a material source and noise is a liability, a recoverable arrow beats a spent cartridge almost every time.

This is the hunter’s weapon: take the animal before it takes you, without announcing the kill to everything else in the Woods.

What Bows are for

• Primary tool for Wildlife & Hunting — silent, reusable, and food-focused.
• The stealth counterpart to firearms: same job, none of the ammo burn.
• Pairs with the dog’s scouting to set up the clean shot.

The resource angle

• Arrows are recoverable — the sustainable ranged economy.
• No faction lock; the baseline hunter’s kit.
