How to Make a Bow in The Forest

Crafted Bow

The Bow is a very important weapon in The Forest. It allows you to stay ranged and out of harm's way but still lets you inflict damage to your enemies.

Compared to the Modern Bow, the Crafted Bow is much slower but still does deal a great amount of damage depending on the type of arrow you’re using.

The Bow does take some time to get used to, considering you will have to learn how high to aim it depending on the distance you want the arrow to go. The protruding wood from the front of the bow works as its crosshairs.
