The Northern bow is a type of wooden composite bow typical especially for the northern cultures of the UnReal World.
Usage
Arguably one of the best bows in the UnReal World. It is as powerful as a longbow but much less accurate, so if you are fighting at mid-range you will quickly see why it is such a popular choice of weapon.
A masterwork Northern bow and superior arrows will make you an incredibly powerful opponent, at a lower weight than carrying a longbow. It is usually found among the Owl people.
Note that for a character with low Bow skill, a shortbow can be a better choice for the slightly better accuracy.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the Northern bow thusly:
A composite bow with a set-back handle, covered with birch bark. The northern bow is one of the strongest bows used in the UnReal World; it is nearly as strong as the crossbows used by the foreign soldiers.
