Hunting Bow (Skyrim)

The  is a weapon that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is one of the first bows you are able to aquire in-game.

This basic type of bow is fairly common, and can be found frequently in many places, and as an inventory item of many NPCs.

Smithing
Despite requiring Leather Strips to upgrade, Hunting Bows benefit from the Steel Smithing perk.

Trivia

 * Ironically, bows of this design are seldom used for hunting as highly-reflexed bows are more difficult to string and may reverse themselves suddenly.
 * This type of bow was the main armament of the Mongol armies that conquered much of Asia and Europe; their short profile compared to longer bows made them ideal for horseback use.
