The '''starter bow''' is a weapon obtained from a [[Deadman starter pack]], along with the [[starter sword]] and [[starter staff|staff]]. It has no requirements to wield, and is intended to be used to help a player get started in a seasonal [[Deadman Mode]] server.

It has stats equal to that of a [[willow shortbow]], and fires its own ammunition, much like a [[crystal bow]]. The bow's [[Ranged Strength]] is the same as [[bronze arrow]]s. The bow possesses 2,000 charges before fully degrading.

As with all starter weapons, it cannot be used against other players.

This bow cannot be used for [[Barbarian Firemaking]].
