A bow is nothing but a showpiece if you don’t have any arrows to shoot. A total of two different materials are required to craft a basic arrow.

After collecting the prescribed ingredients, open your backpack and combine them on the crafting mat. Both the items will be added to your inventory, and you can start hunting immediately. Remember, the crafted bow will wear/decay over some time, depending on your usage.
