V 10 Айнулиндалэ, об Оромэ:
"And Orome tamer of beasts would ride too at whiles in the darkness of the unlit forests; as a mighty hunter he came with spear and bow [pursuing to the death the monsters and fell creatures of the kingdom of Melkor."
"Tilion was a young hunter of the company of Orome, and he
had a silver bow. "
Аналы Амана:
"'The Elves had before possessed only weapons of the chase, spears and bows and arrows.' "
Там же, о луках Тэлери:
" $150 Thus at last the Teleri were overcome, and a great
part of their mariners that dwelt in Alqualonde were wickedly
slain. For the Noldor were become fierce and desperate, and the
Teleri had less strength, and were armed mostly with light bows
only. "
Поздняя Квэнта Сильмариллион:
"But the Noldor now learned the fashioning of swords of tempered steel, and the making of bows and of arrows and of spears; and they made shields in those days and emblazoned them with devices of silver and gold and gems. "
" But now the lords of the Noldor took out their swords
and spears and sharpened them, re-strung their bows and filled their quivers with arrows. "
Комментарии к ней:
"This was rewritten in LQ $50 (p. 188), still as an observation made by Pengolod, to read that the Elves had originally possessed no weapons, and that now they learned the making of all kinds of arms, swords, spears, bows and arrows. "

Серые Анналы
"And many of the woodmen came also with Hundor of Brethil; and with him marched Mablung of Doriath with a small force of Grey-elves, some with axes, some with bows; for Mablung was unwilling to have no part in these great deeds, "
Там же, о Турине:
"He took therefore a new name, Turambar, and besought the woodmen to forget that he was a stranger among them or ever bore any other name.
Nonetheless he would not wholly leave deeds of war, for he
could not endure that the Orcs should come to the Crossings of
Taiglin or draw nigh Haud-en-Ellas, and he made that a place of
dread for them so that they shunned it. But he laid his black
sword by, and used rather the bow. "
Из "Скитаний Хурина":
"'Then shall we not receive our weapons again?' said Asgon.
'Will you cast us back into the wild without bow or steel to
perish among the beasts?' "
"As he went to the door Avranc seized his bow to shoot
Manthor down, but Hardang restrained him. 'Not yet,' he said."
"Many fell at the gate on either side ere it was taken. There
Avranc fought bravely, and was the last to retreat. Then as he turned to flee suddenly he drew his bow and shot at Manthor as he stood by the Stone. "
"But even as he said this an arrow came from the trees, and he
stumbled and sank to the ground. Then men ran to seek for the
bowman; and they saw a man running like a deer up the path
towards the Obel, and they could not overtake him; but they
saw that it was Avranc"
"О Маэглине"
"Eol draws a bow and shoots at Morleg in the King's hall, saying that his own son shall not be filched. "
