Bows

Bows are a type of ranged weapon. Bows have average base damage, which can be increased with Arrows. Bows require Arrows, which are shot in an arc at an average speed. Bows have no base knockback, their knockback depends on the type of Arrow. Some have special properties. Bows progress through the Tiers of the game, along with all types of Wood, except for Cactus.

Holding right click will charge a shot that flies with higher velocity and damage. A player may release the bow at any point during charging, and it will fly and do damage based on how charged it was when released. Spamming right click will result in normal shots fired, albeit at a slower rate than left clicking.

Bow damage scales with the Ranged skill.
