Jill’s bow and arrows



"I want to use the Bow! There is no difference between me and you."

- Jill Pole for Eustace Scrubb

Jill's bow and arrows, along with her Knife, were Jill Pole prized possessions when she fought valiantly in Narnia as the Fearless Heroine Jill. They were given to her by Puddleglum shortly before her quest for Prince Rilian. According to Eustace, Jill was very good at using the Bow, whether this was due to the bow being enchanted or some other cause is unknown.

Description
We don't know very well what Jill's Bow was made of, only that her Quiver was made of a light and silky fabric and the Bow was made of wood with golden details. The arrows were also made of wood, the feathers were red, and the tip was also gold.

Age of Exploration
When Eustace and Jill found Puddleglum, Jill wanted to use the Bow and Arrows, but it was still too young so Eustace and Puddleglum who used the Bows and Arrows and Jill kept her knife.

Later Ages
Later, in The Last Battle Jill returns to Narnia and uses the same Bow that Eustace carried in The Silver Chair, however it is unknown if Jill used the Bow of Eustace or Puddleglum since the two were the same. However, Jill was a great archer, and although she had used her bow very little in Narnia before The Last War, she used it like a very experienced person, which impressed everyone.

Adaptations
In the miniseries produced by the BBC, it is depicted as a recurve-style short bow made of wood. The hilt is leather decorated with gold, and the ends of the bow appear to be made of ivory. The arrows appear to be made of the same wood as the bow and are feathered with red feathers. Arrowheads appear to be made of gold.

The quiver is made of a soft, silky cloth that shines like Jill's eyes.

The Silver Chair
When Eustace and Jill find Puddleglum, they decide that Jill will take the Knife and Puddleglum and Eustace will take the Bow and Arrows and the Sword, and in fact Jill wanted to take the Bow but was still too young to use it. However, the Bow is only used by Puddleglum to kill a large goose for them to eat.

The Last Battle
In The Last Battle, Jill chooses a Bow and Arrows as her weapon for battles, it was probably Eustace's Bow or Puddleglum's Bow, although we never see her training Archery on Earth or in Narnia, she showed herself to be a great Archer, perhaps Jill's Bow was also Enchanted like Susan's bow and arrows but this was never explained.
