A longbow is a natural composite bow with a length of 4 to 6 feet.
Usage
A longbow is one of the best bows available, being more accurate and possessing a longer range than any other bow (crossbows excepted). It's especially useful for fighting human opponents, who are likely to present multiple opportunities for shooting them before they engage in close combat with the player.
Availability
One of three bows that can be crafted by the player character.
To craft a longbow you need a board, an axe, some bowstring, and a knife.
After crafting, 'apply' an unwielded longbow to remove the bowstring, and 'apply' a bowstring to an unwielded longbow to re-string.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the longbow thusly:
Any bow between four and six feet high, generally the same height as the archer. The bow is carefully cut from the heartwood and bodywood of a branch, and is in effect, a natural composite bow. The tips are usually sheathed with horn and the string is generally made from hemp. The longbow has amazing power and accuracy, but it takes years of training to become proficient in its use.
