Elven bows are the finest missile weapons of their kind. Constructed from ithilmar or rare and flexible woods from the Elf forests layered with bone, with strings woven from the hair of Elf maidens, Elven bows are far superior to any missile weapons made by other races. It's lighter and less bulky than a standard bow, but its unusual construction prevents all but the most skilled archers from using it. In the hands of an Elven archer, the Elf bow is a truly potent weapon, its long range and penetrating power making it far superior to any bow made by humans.
