An elven bow is a launcher for arrows. When unidentified, it is a runed bow. You should not bash monsters with it, or throw it—instead, wield it in your hands, then throw arrows (or fire them from your quiver).

For non-elven characters, an elven bow is basically the same as a regular bow. Elves, however, get the following bonuses:

SLASH'EM

In SLASH'EM, an non-cursed elven bow has a 1 in 3 chance of adding an additional shot to the multishot roll, meaning a player that would normally only shoot 1 arrow will shoot d2 arrows 33% of the time, a player that would normally shoot d2 arrows will shoot d3 arrows 33% of the time, etc.[4] This bonus does not apply to dark elven bows.
