This slightly more sophisticated version of the bow uses a stock and winch to increase tension and fire a bolt or quarrel over a longer distance. These weapons can be used even by the unskilled, which is their primary selling point.
They also have the Simple Operation special rule: The penalty for using this weapon without proficiency is reduced by 10 (i.e., the usual –20 would be reduced to a –10).
