Landing a successful shot most commonly implies an investment in time and energy as the player will need to either follow/track the animal as it bleeds out or find its carcass later on. As such, when hunting, it would be wise to consider what the animal may do in the more likely event that it is not killed instantly. While arrows do have a chance to kill animals instantly with a critical hit, they more commonly cause massive bleeding wounds that will drain the animal's health over time. The survival bow is a craftable, aimable tool used to launch simple arrows at targets.
Usability: The bow, unlike the rifle, cannot be fired while crouched unless one's Archery skill is Level 5. Arrow flight speed: Arrows fly much slower than bullets, so take a target's movement into consideration. Farther targets will require aiming higher. Vertical targeting: Arrow flight trajectory forms an arc, following in-game physics, similar to the real world. The sway increases if the player is tired. When it tilts to the right or left, the arrow will fly a bit to the right or left of the center of your aim. 
Horizontal sway: When drawn, the bow will sway from left to right affecting the arrows flight accordingly. Draw speed: It's slower than aiming the rifle. The bow requires some practice to use effectively and some factors should be taken into consideration with its use: These two mechanics make the bow a slightly more difficult-to-aim weapon, making it better-suited for offense (i.e., hunting) than for defense. This means players with limited access to gunsmithing materials and equipment may eventually find themselves forced to rely on bows or stones as their primary hunting weapons.įinally, the bow has a heavier, slower projectile, resulting in arrows travelling in an arc and a time-delay between arrow release and impact. On the other hand, the player can craft new bows and arrows, as long as materials are available. The bow's condition will degrade about 2-3% per shot and, unlike the rifle, cannot be repaired. Unlike rifle rounds, arrows are retrievable after being shot however, the arrow loses some condition each time it strikes something (including the ground, so missed shots count). Arrows shot from the survival bow cause more severe bleeding wounds than bullets, but have a far lower chance of a critical hit. 
While the bow is much lighter than the rifle, arrows are heavier than bullets. In terms of effectiveness as a distance weapon, the bow has drawbacks and advantages compared to the hunting rifle it is not necessarily better or worse.
