A little while back Zenmaxxor, AE and myself had a quiet little chat about bows, obsidian heads and arrow weight. I stand by what I said when applied to bows in general in SR, but no longer for Ranger-X bows.

I really should have read the fluff about it. It specifically states that this bow is of SOTA materials and designed to work with a Ranger-X arrow. This arrow is constructed from specialist polymers to form a more rigid and lighter arrow. The arrow itself is described as traveling faster and further.

After checking the damage/range tables I found that this is not the case in my version of the book. Has it been erata-ed anywhere?

MPO - The range of a Ranger-X should be 20%-25% longer than an equivalent STR bow and +1TN# penalty for using the RX bow with any arrow other than a RX arrow. Due to the much lighter weight of RX arrow, none of the specialist super-heavy arrows we chatted about would work without additional accuracy/power problems.

Thank you.
