== Definition ==
The bow and arrow is a weapon system consisting of an elastic launching device (bow) and long-shafted projectiles (arrows).
A bow consists of a semi-rigid but elastic arc with a high-tensile bowstring joining the ends of the two limbs of the bow. An arrow is a projectile with a pointed tip and a long shaft with stabilizer fins (fletching) towards the back, with a narrow notch (nock) at the very end to contact the bowstring.
There are a great number of variations of bows and arrows based on function and culture. 
== Dalmer Bows ==
Multishot: The multishot bow is a bow weapon designed to fire special arrows into a reticule separated into three or five sections, allowing a wide spread of shot. 
Folding: The folding bow is designed to be instantly collapsible and taught at the press of a button, to facilitate usage on the field. 
Straightshot: A straightshot bow is a bow that can dramatically increase precision and range of a bow, which will fire a projectile in a straight line much further than other bows. The Straightshot Bow has high power and very high durability, but its most notable feature is its immense range. The Straightshot Bow fires arrows in a straight line for quite some distance before the projectile become affected by gravity, making it ideal for hitting far-off targets.
Joerg: Joerg bows are a unique dalmer design where the archer can fire several arrows in quick succession. The Joerg itself is a clip and shoulder rest apparatus for bows that contains 4 shots. the Joerg keeps the string in a straight line and replaces arrows thanks to a latch. There is a pressure system to ensure arrows are notched. The Joerg only uses two veined arrows for stacking reasons.
Cabler: Affixes a cable to the arrow in order to be able to tow the target back. Usually used for hunting. 
== Other race bows ==
Duplex: These bows are made to be fired horizontally and fire two arrows at once.
