Bow
A bow is a ranged weapon that can fire arrows, tipped arrows, and spectral arrows‌[Java Edition only]. The damage and range of fired arrows depends on the arrow type, enchantments on the bow, and how long the use button was held before releasing.
Skeletons, strays, bogged, parched and illusioners‌[JE only] have an 8.5% chance of dropping a normal or enchanted bow on death when killed by a player or a tamed wolf.
The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of Looting, allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping.
