[[File:Shadowrun Standard Bow.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Bows]]
A traditional longbow of fiberglass or wood, or a modern compound-and-pulley bow. Reloading the bow takes one “Ready Weapon” Action. Bows have minimum Strength ratings that indicate the minimum Strength a character must have to use that weapon. When attacking with a bow, a character whose Strength is less than the Strength minimum suffers a –2D modifier per "D" below the minimum; this penalty reflects the difficulty they have in pulling the bow and nocking an arrow. The weapon’s minimum Strength rating is also used to determine the weapon’s range and damage. Material science limits high-tech bows to a maximum Strength rating of 6D+2. The maximum Damage Value an arrow fired from the bow can inflict is equal to the bow’s rating x1.5.

*'''Injection Arrows''': An injection arrow causes the same damage as a regular arrow/bolt, but an attack that inflicts at least 1 point of damage will also deliver one dose of whatever chemical substance the arrow was loaded with. This counts as an injection attack vector.

[[File:Shadowrun Crossbows.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Crossbows]]

Modern crossbows are equipped with automatic reloading devices to allow for faster firing rates (reloading doesn’t require a Ready Weapon action, unless you happen to be using a museum piece). Crossbows also feature internal magazines holding up to 4 bolts. Available in Light, Medium, and Heavy sizes.
*'''Injection Bolts''': An injection bolt causes the same damage as a regular arrow/bolt, but an attack that inflicts at least 1 point of damage will also deliver one dose of whatever chemical substance the bolt was loaded with. This counts as an injection attack vector.
