Bows
Equippable by Cecil (Paladin), Rydia, Palom, Porom, Rosa, Edward, Cid

Bows have low hit percentage rates and the only person who can connect with the hits a 100% of the time is Rosa by using her Aim command. Bows are not very strong in strength however, but you can raise the attack power by putting the Bow in the opposite hand that the person is normally using. For example say Rosa is right handed, that means you would put the Bow on her left hand, just think about it. Would you be able to launch a arrow with full force if the bow was on your main hand and your arrow on your opposite hand?

Arrows
Equippable by Cecil (Paladin), Rydia, Palom, Porom, Rosa, Edward, Cid

Well obviously you will need something to shoot with when you have a bow,
and what not better weapons than Arrows. Arrows as you can expect have no
hit rate percentage because you cannot use these as weapons, nor can a Bow
be used without an arrow.
