Random Lord of the Rings poll

I think they would stink, but as soon as battle came, they would become instant sharp-shooters.

It's been quite a while since I read any of the LOTR books, but from what I remember, Legolas was great at archery, and other people- not so much. Leave the shooting to us elves, we've trained for it all our lives.

Rusvul, I thought you were a Marlfox!

They are quite accurate and pretty good shots.  Halflings/Hobbits within fantasy have had a niche of being good at throwing daggers, rocks, short bows, and using slings.  As for archery, they would have to use short bows.  In the One Ring RPG, Hobbits have a starting package that utilizes the bow.

i MAY of already said this, but in the books, in the books in the end when teh hobbits reclaim the Shire, there are a lot of archer-hobbits. OH! and Aragorn used a bow when he was a Ranger
