Occasionally, combatants spawn with bows. If you specialise in melee combat this is the worst weapon to be stuck with but if you have archery skills (and sufficient athletics) this is the best weapon because you can attack from a safe distance and no one can block your attacks. The biggest threat will be from opponents with melee weapons, which will be everyone other than you -- when you start with a bow, no one else will be given one. | Occasionally, combatants spawn with bows.

If you can, aim for your opponents head when they are running straight towards you, and you can drop them with one shot. You can aim for the feet of opponents with shields (or aim for their head when they swing their sword, shooting over their shields when they are blocking can also sometimes be accomplished). Also, aim into masses of combatants when they develop to help keep them from ganging up on you, and to rack up credit for difficult shots. But make sure you do not run out of arrows. | If you can, aim for your opponents head when they are running straight towards you, and you can drop them with one shot.
