Pretty much yea, as long as its got fletchs to keep it strightish its shootable, not as great accuracy and range as profess arrows and bow but still doable. The Cavemen did pretty much invented it with sticks. :P

I played with the Crossbow many times but yet to try the bow but ill mainly focus on the crossbow for now. I an actual Archer myself in real life so i kinda know the feeling how some things could work. Anyway the changes i think should be changed for Crossbow and possible the bow as well are: Crossbow: - Range should reach about 60 Yards before a big drop. - Slow reload but high accrucy than bow - Crossbow should have its very own scope as well (if u find one) with a reticle somewhat like this http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/880x660/alt1/337/excalibur.jpg - In thre future when weapon kits are useful, Crossbow/Bows should also have a Bow Kit to keep them in top condition as string can wear down. If u wanna go bit farthur you can make it u have to find Wax to wax string for rainy days. Bows: - Range should reach 80-100 yards before a big drop - Faster reloading but less accrucy than crossbow - Implent a small hunting Compound bow (which would be rare) that can also have a special PIN scope to attach if found (pin scope are set ranges no need to move it) and carbon fibre arrows, it can also have an inbuilt quiver like the crossbow but only holds 4. (tho this all prob be in the distent future) Small hunting bow: http://blog.nj.com/ledgerupdates_impact/2009/05/large_bow-and-arrow-deer-hunting.JPG Arrows/Bolts - Change the Fletches and Knocks to Luminate Orange, making the arrows alittle more easyer to find, the Yellow can blend in alot. (There is also knocks that can light up for darkness) - Arrows should stack to 12 (a dozen) while Bolts 5, Arrows are longer/lighter and have a smoother tip while bolts are smaller heavyer with broadhead tips (what u see ingame now) - Quiver should be attached on waist if u have a bag on, without a bag it attachs on the back. Crossbow has a quiver inbuilt holding 5 while 1 can be loaded but unloads if put away. (bit silly to have a loaded bolt on ur back) - Leather quiver has 1 slot to hold 1 dozen of arrows, also acts as the magazine for bow. Bigger quiver can hold 2 slots. - An Arrow Tube container to hold 4 slots for arrows and bolts but takes 2 slots in bags. - For Longbows (String and stick style) able to make wooden arrows from sticks and feathers (if u put chickens and killable birds in and glue) and useing a knife or axe to sharpen the end. - Arrows/bolts should be always repicked up, on miss's and kills BUT arrows can wear down or get ruined (broken) having a Bow kit could fix worn arrows. This depends what you hit on, hard surfaces may cause it to ruin faster, while soft surfaces last longer. Wooden arrows wear twice as fast. - Hitting on wood makes arrows stuck unless u have a knife/screwdriver to get them out. - Attached string on arrow to fish with. - Headshots are 1 hit kill - (Zombies) Arrows do less damage other than the head, but staggers them and slows them down if hit on legs. - Arrows/Bolts taken out of zombies will be infected, can be used agaisnt Players to infect them but needs to be cleansed if used for hunting animals other wise it infects them as well unable to eat or infect urself. - (Players) Arrows do less damage other than the head, but cripples them and making them bleed, Bolts have chance on breaking bones. Players can take out the arrows. - Player can choose to break arrows All i can think of ATM but i am a big fan of useing bows i would like it to act abit more better and do more what it can do.
