  • In some modern day settings, the normal human members of either side will use guns, and often with less than stellar accuracy, regardless of allegiance. Combined with the idea that guns are easy point and click weapons, how do you set apart your ranged combat hero with no cool looking superpowers? Why, give them a bow and arrow, of course! Not only will it prove that they're a lot better shot than everyone else, but are cool under pressure as well. Usually, the coolness factor will be ramped up by giving them all sorts of neat arrows that'll come in handy for any situation they might encounter. And of course, their arrows will always be more effective than guns. Crossbows can fit this trope as well, though they're not quite as cool. Unlimited supply of arrows often included. A common trope in comics. Up until the American Civil War, the trope had some accuracy. The crossbow replaced the longbow, and the musket, the crossbow, because while the replacement weapon was inferior, it was also much easier to train people to use it. (The rule for training a longbowman is: Start with his grandfather.) However, the breech-loading repeating rifles invented during the American Civil War matched the longbow in range, accuracy, and rate of fire. Close relative of The Archer, sometimes overlapping it, though one can exist without the other. The Straight and Arrow Path regards situations where someone manages to make a bow and arrows a better choice than other, more modern weapons like guns. Often, a hero (or villain) who follows the Straight and Arrow Path can be pretty dangerous with his fists as well. Also related to Guns Are Worthless. Name not to be confused with No Arc in Archery.
