Use

It shoots from the arrow quiver at its man’s hip: no arrow quiver, no shots. A man on foot with a bow is ranged (an archer), whatever else he carries. It cannot be shot from the saddle.

Made from

A common piece takes 2 kg of timber. A crude one takes 0.6 of that, a poor one three quarters, a fine one half again and a masterwork twice. Traders buy what they lack from the town’s market.
