Archery is the use of bows and arrows to fight at long distance. It's used in hunting and combat. Be careful when shooting at close range, your equipped arrow usually gets destroyed if a creature counterattacks and sometimes your bow does too.

The Long bow, is slower and less accurate than the Short bow (+2 Missile Accuracy) but does a little more damage. Recurve (+6 Missile Accuracy) and Elven (+10 missile Accuracy) bows are both faster and more accurate but also a lot more expensive. The Elven bow does considerably more damage than the cheaper bows.
