Making bows
To make bows you first need to acquire some wood. Depending on the type of tree you chop down you can get different sorts of logs. Next use a knife with the logs to cut them into either a shortbow or a longbow. To make a bow string you need to find a flax plant and use it with a spinning wheel. Finally add the string to the bow to complete it.

Rarer types of wood are harder to acquire, but make better bows which shoot more accurately. The table on the next page lists the different types of bow you can make.

Making arrows
To make an arrow-shaft just use a knife with some ordinary logs. Add a feather to the arrow shaft, and finally add an arrow-head to complete the arrow. Arrow heads can either be purchased from the member's archery shop, or smithed at an anvil.

Better arrow heads will inflict more damage, but you will require a better bow to fire them. The table belows [sic] list the different arrow types:
