Susan bow battle

Archery, derived from the Latin word arcus, refers to the art, practice or skill of shooting arrows from a bow (can also refer to the use of crossbows). Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat on various worlds, especially Narnia.

A person who participates in archery is typically known as an "archer" or "bowman", and one who is fond of or an expert at archery can be referred to as a "toxophilite".

The most notable archers ever mentioned in Narnia were Queen Susan the Gentle and Dauntless Heroine Jill Pole. Susan was given a bow and arrows by Father Christmas, who presumably gave it to her on Aslan own orders. Jill found her Bow and Arrows in an old tomb, probably Aslan also put Jill's bow there so she could find it and use it in battle.. With Susan's gun, it was said that she never missed a shot, probably Jill's gun also had this ability but it was never confirmed

It is unknown whether Susan and Jill continued with their Bows and Arrows after they returned to the Earth, as the Pevensies found that they had difficulty using the skills they had learned in Narnia on Earth.
