Overview

In-game description
Hunting Bow, useful for short to medium range combat and hunting.

Put the two bows' stats side by side and you will not find a difference. The Legacy Bow costs the same cloth and wood as the hunting bow, needs no workbench either, has the same durability and even carries the same in-game description. Whatever sets it apart lives in the model, not in any number we can see.

The name points back at an older bow from earlier versions of Rust, and it is a looks pick in the plainest sense: a skin of the hunting bow with no blueprint of its own. You craft the hunting bow and choose this look if you own the skin.

Say your first shack is up and the skin is yours. Take whichever look you like: for hunting and first fights with wooden arrows they do the same job. The step up is the same too, a compound bow once your first bench is down.
