== Targeting ==
To enter ranged combat, activate an equipped and strung [[Reflex bow|bow]], move within range, then right-click on your target to engage. (You can also use the icon on the select bar to quickly queue up multiple shots.)
Archery works best when standing at optimal range. You will miss more if you are closer than, or farther from, the optimal range.

Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 2119:00 to 0506:00 Wurm time). When firing a bow at night at an archery target for example, the message, "The dusk makes it harder to get a clear view of the archery target." will appear each time you shoot.
== Notes on Bows ==
There are three types of bows:
*[[Short bow]]
*[[BowReflex bow]]
*[[Long bow]]
When shooting a bow, the order of arrow selection is:
#Arrows in an equipped [[quiver]].#Arrows in your [[backpack]].#Arrows in a quiver in your inventory.#Arrows in your inventory not in a quiver.*a container with other items in it will stop the selection order and may stop you from shooting, for example an equiped quiver with other items in it(not arrows) will stop the search and wont let you shoot arrows in your equipped backpack or on a quiver on inventory. you will instead get the message "You have no arrows left to shoot!".
In addition to the order of precedence above, the type of arrow also determines the order of arrow selection:
== Skillgain Tips ==
* The archery skill is limited to 45 while practicing on an archery [[archery target]]. You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an archery target.
* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing on archery targets, as they are far easier to make and won't cause excessive damage to the target. Arrows that aren't broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
