There are three basic bow types allowed in Ealdormere: straight bows (long bows), recurve bows, and crossbows. Arrows must have wooden shafts and use real feather fletching. Crossbow bolts must also have a wood shaft but fletching can be made from feathers, leather, thin wood, or parchment. For full details on equipment restrictions, see the Ealdormere Archer's Handbook.
