About the Junkbow

A poor quality attempt at crafting a Tooth pick. A pretty worthless bow.In-game description

Crossbows are the only ranged weapons a character can carry; they need bolts of the matching type, and the Crossbows skill sets accuracy, reload speed and rate of fire. Source: Kenshi Wiki
