While even the earliest guns will match and surpass it, crafting recurve bows is useful for Tribal starts (assuming a skilled enough crafter is present). |

Overall damage and range are inferior to [[greatbow]], even with heavy armor, but the recurve bow is cheaper to craft and research. [[Shortbow]]s should be replaced with these whenever possible. |
− | + | Despite their inferior long-range accuracy, basic firearms such as [[autopistol]]s and [[revolver]]s are easily competitive with recurve bows, and are better at close quarters. As even Tribal starts can quickly loot said firearms, researching them with a New Arrivals start is largely a waste of time. Should you find or craft a particularly high quality bow, it might remain competitive in the early game. | |

− | Against an unarmored human, a recurve bow can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2-3 hits to the head, 2 hits to the neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple limbs in 2 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit.

It'll generally take around 5 hits (~21.5 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. |
Overall, the recurve bow is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 11, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the recurve bow is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 11, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||
