With the feathers sitting safely within his shadow sack, Rino decided on a few experiments. The tutorial for crafting bows and arrows was no help. Rino did not know much about archery, so he could only improve the creation through a series of trials and errors.
He knew very little about archery, but Rino knew the basics. The bow's wood, according to the tutorial, should be hard but flexible. There were a few parts to a bow that was self-explanatory, but the grip was the most complex to craft.
Unlike the overly simple bow spine that Fowler crafted from a bendy branch, Rino was going to start from the basics. The tutorial suggested using hardwoods like oak or maple. Thankfully, the forest was full of oak trees that Rino could choose from. A branch that wasn't too thick was ideal, but Rino knew he had to look for a particularly long one for the experimental longbow.
