Long Bow
The longbow is an incredibly powerful weapon capable of shooting arrows farther, faster, and more powerfully than any other ranged weapon. They are absolutely massive, nearly the size of a man, and have draw weights around 80+ pounds. They are used by both the Araluen Army's archers and the Ranger Corps.
The Araluen Army employs ranks of archers to fire volleys of arrows to arc down on enemy troops. The individual archers don't aim for specific targets, rather they rely on the mass of arrows collectively raining down on enemy troops to take them out. The size and power of the bow allows for the arrows to travel far and high and to strike with incredible force.
In the hands of a trained Ranger, the longbow has a remarkable rate of fire and accuracy. A shot from a ranger's longbow has enough power (at a close enough range) to send an arrow through a man's torso, and is accurate enough to be placed through the vision slit of a knight's helmet.
