About the Oldworld Bow MkII

A more advanced version than the MkI, it's more complicated to use and unskilled users have a hard time reloading smoothly. For the experienced archer however it's one of the best long-range weapons available.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
