==Usage==
The bow and arrow has been ubiquitous across human cultures for thousands of years, serving as one of their most fundamental ranged weapons in hunting and warfare.Assassin's CreedAssassin's Creed IIAssassin's Creed: Odyssey Individuals trained in its use are called archers, and they were a mainstay of armies everywhere prior to the development of firearms. In cities, archers would be assigned as sentries posted on rooftops, walls, and lookout towers to guard restricted areas from trespassers and the city itself from invaders.Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's ChroniclesAssassin's Creed II: Discovery The weapons could be quite effective at defending besieged walls because of their ability to pick off enemies at a distance.Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy – Italian Wars: Chapter 3 – Mario Auditore
The Assassins used bows frequently, as they were silent, long-ranged weapons, and many individual members were known for their tremendous skill with them. The Assassin Qulan Gal helped to assassinate Genghis Khan by shooting his horse with a bow and would later be commemorated in the Sanctuary beneath the Villa Auditore with the bow as his Assassin Seal.Assassin's Creed II – A Change of Plans Cipriano Enu, an Italian Assassins, was a exceptional marksman with the bow and was able to snipe targets from up to four rooftops away with a single arrow.Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy – Rome: Chapter 3 – Francesco Vecellio
Even when the bow had been phased out around the world by firearms, Assassins like the Kanien'kehá:ka Ratonhnhaké:ton continued to utilize it for hunting and in hostile situations which called for precision and stealth.Assassin's Creed III
