Bow

There are currently ten types of bows in Middle-Earth. These are the Mallorn Bow, Galadhrim Bow, High Elven Bow, Bow of Mirkwood, Orc Bow, Black Uruk Bow, Utumno Bow, Bow of Harad, Rohirric Bow and the Gondorian Bow. The bows behave just like the vanilla Minecraft bow, but with varying loading speed, power, enchantability and durability (see Sinthoniel's blog post or the table further down for more on this).

Often, certain mobs in this mod will be equipped with a type of bow as their weapon. These mobs include Rohirrim archers, Gondor archers, Rangers of the North, and Wood-Elf scouts. Some mobs (Elves or Rangers) will use a bow for long range combat and switch to a melee weapon during close combat.

In addition, there is a different variant of the bow in this mod. See crossbows for more information.

In Beta 21, all the bows already in the mod were changed to longbows, and some factions (i.e. Gondor and Rohan) received new longbows. However, the change to longbows did not change the strength of the bows from what it was before.
