Yes. All bows must have a 30 pound pull or less, with all crossbows limited to a 25 pound pull or less. Like nearly all weapons in Fractured, your character can use a bow without purchasing the Bow skill. However, archery is unique in that players must be certified annually by the LARP staff or archery marshal. This is usually a fairly quick process that involves a discussion of the proper and safe use of boffer LARP archery, as well as a short skills test to assure the competence of the archer. Please see our Archery Rules for more info.
