Oliver Queen has used several bows as his weapon of choice, beginning with his shipwreck on Lian Yu, up until the present day during his crusade in Star City as The Hood, The Arrow and Green Arrow. As a master archer, he used the somewhat primitive weapon in his efforts to save Star City. Chronologically, Oliver has used 5 bows; a traditional carbon fiber longbow, a recurve bow, an Oneida Kestrel compound bow, which was later modified slightly, and a League of Assassins takedown recurve bow.
