The Ashwood bow is in most cases the lowest risk ranged weapon currently in DayZ. Loot a few small villages and you have a good chance of finding the materials (an axe or ashwood stick, a knife and a rope), while avoiding the dangers of bigger cities. Ammunition can me made by scavenging chiken coops for feathers and checking the ground for sticks to sharpen, making the weapon completely void of needing cities for restocking other than the first run. |

If the user is not used to the weapon, aiming can be tricky, as no sights are provided, requiring the user to use their eyes to judge where the arrow hits. Its not recommended to use the bow beyond close-medium range in combat, unless very proficient with it. It will kill fairly quickly, though the difficulty in aiming for critical spots can make it require several arrows to kill. |

Strategy
The Ashwood bow is in most cases the lowest risk ranged weapon currently in DayZ. Loot a few small villages and you have a good chance of finding the materials (an axe or ashwood stick, a knife and a rope), while avoiding the dangers of bigger cities. Ammunition can me made by scavenging chiken coops for feathers and checking the ground for sticks to sharpen, making the weapon completely void of needing cities for restocking other than the first run.
