'''Bows''' is a [[Martial Ability]]. Note that it doesn't cover the use of a crossbow. The availability of bows is dependent on your saga, but historically only short bows are available throughout nearly all of Europe in the [[canon|canonic]] time period. Effective use of the longbow requires extensive and regular training, and a large trained populace was not available until the edicts of the English monarchs that encouraged and required such training were brought to bear, starting at the late 13th century.
