Archery
From MUME
In order to use missile weapons, you need to wield the weapon, wear the appropriate quiver, and fill it with the appropriate missiles. After this, find a target and SHOOT the target. Once the target's dead, you can RECOVER used missiles.
From time to time, nonmagical missiles will break. This is likely to happen if you shoot a hard-to-hit target, or when your shot kills the opponent.
Currently implemented missile weapons are:
WEAPON MISSILE QUIVER ------------------------ Bow Arrows Quiver Crossbow Bolts Bolt-case <- Crossbows can be winched and loaded before use Sling Pebbles Pouch <- Pebbles may be searched for on the ground, if you are using a sling: use REVEAL STONE.
