The survival bow, is a long range weapon along with the hunting rifle and Distress Pistol. The bow requires arrows to shoot with. It can be found in the world, or crafted. It's best-used for defending yourself against wolves, or hunting them down. It's not big enough to handle bears, while deer and rabbits rarely let you get close enough to hit them. On the plus side, it'll kill anything less than a bear with a single well-placed headshot, another reason it's ideal for hunting those pesky wolves.
