Bows

Bows are a type of ranged weapon that fire arrows as ammunition. Unlike repeaters, the majority of bows, especially those obtainable in pre-Hardmode, are not capable of autofire.

The best modifier for bows is Unreal, with the exception of Wooden Bows and early ore bows, whose lack of knockback make their best modifier Demonic or Rapid instead.

Types
There are currently different bows available in Terraria,  of which are Hardmode-exclusive.
