The ogre bow is a weapon requiring 30 Ranged to wield. Along with the comp ogre bow, it is used to kill chompies. The bow cannot be fletched, and cannot use any ammunition other than ogre arrows.

The ogre bow is obtained from Rantz during the Big Chompy Bird Hunting quest. If the bow is lost, another can be purchased from him for an amount which changes each time, but is in the range of 500-550 coins. The bow is also required for Freeing Skrach Uglogwee in the Recipe for Disaster quest.

The bow has the same ranged attack bonus but a much slower attack speed than the comp version; additionally, the comp bow is tradeable. For this reason, the regular ogre bow is rarely used after the quest is complete.

The player can check the number of chompy birds they have killed by selecting the "Check kills" option on the bow. Kills are only tracked after completing Big Chompy Bird Hunting.

The Void Knight equipment set's accuracy bonuses stack with the ogre bow, but the damage bonus does not get applied.

The following formula can be used to calculate the max hit of an Ogre bow:

${\text{Maximum Hit}}=\left\lfloor 0.5+{\frac {{\text{Visible Ranged Level}}+10*({\text{Ammo Ranged Strength}}+64)}{640}}\right\rfloor$

Trivia

• Robert the Strong appears to be wielding an ogre bow.
• Attempting to light a fire with an ogre bow after completing Barbarian Firemaking training will result in the chatbox message This bow is vast, clumsy and most of a tree. You realise that this type of bow is useless for firelighting..
• If a player tries to check kills on their ogre bow before completing Big Chompy Bird Hunting, they will get a message You've scratched up no kills yet! You've got to complete the quest first!.
