Training Manual

Brings back the hunting bow and improvised bow, plus a single wooden arrow type, a quiver, and fletching recipes for making your own ammo.

How to use it:

• Craft or find a Hunting Bow or Improvised Bow and equip it like any other ranged weapon.
• Use fletching recipes to turn wooden materials into arrows rather than relying on found stock alone.
• The Hunting Bow is built from a knife, sprout, small bone, cloth scraps, leather strips, scrap metal, and a rubber hose — so keep an eye out for those while looting.
• Carving Level 5 is required to put a Hunting Bow together, so invest in that skill first if archery is your focus.
• Fire arrows and then walk the area afterward to recover spent ones from the ground or from whatever you hit — both the Hunting Bow and Improvised Bow recover arrows the same way.

Worth knowing: Arrows are a renewable resource once you're set up to fletch them, so a bow can become a reliable, quiet option for thinning zombies without burning firearm ammo. Management appreciates a survivor who solves their zombie problem with sticks.
