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.
