Overview of Bronze Arrows
Bronze arrows are the first tier of arrows that players can craft in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). These arrows are primarily used in ranged combat, making them a popular choice for low-level players who are just starting to explore the world of archery. They are crafted from bronze bars and can be made using the Fletching skill.
