Range

"Shoot pointy sticks with different kinds of equipment"
Ranged is a combat skill where you use a ranged weapon and ammunition to hurt enemies from a distance. There are different tiers or bows and ammunition that can be used to cause damage. Dealing damage to monsters using this skill will provide both Range and Hit points experience. Range ammunition will drop to the floor after dealing damage, allowing players to collect used arrows and reuse them again. A player's max hit is dependent on the range level and equipment worn.

Note: Crossbows fire at a "fast" rate, and are a very high DPS weapon, however crafting bolts is a pain, and they have somewhat low accuracy.
They are also one handed, so you can use a god-book with them.

== Training Ranged ==
Early ranged training involves using Wooden arrows with the highest tier bow and highest tier ranged armor you can equip.
If you decide to train smithing, you will have enough extra metal bars to create a lot of metal ammo, otherwise keep that ammo for Slayer Tasks or harder enemies.
