Yeah, the Elves of Mirkwood don't use metal anywhere near as much as the other Elves in Middle-Earth, so it wouldn't make sense for them to have large numbers of metal bows when wood is clearly their main material for such things.

I also like the fact that different races have such differences anyway. If all the Elves had the same equipment but with different aesthetics the mod would would be much less interesting.
