The wiki is a mess when it comes to ranged archery articles... there's crossbow, crossbowman, ammunition, which solely applies to personal ranged weapon ammunition, no mention much at all on the weapons page about blowguns, although the page in 40d had some mention on them, it's not apparently clear that bows are essentially the same thing as crossbows in terms of combat. Bows have bowman.

Crossbowman and Bowman are too similar in practice. Crossbow has a nice detailed exposition, and it used to also encompass quiver, but it could be amalgamated under crossbowman and fleshed out.

I think we should amalgamate Bowman, Crossbowman, and quiver and crossbow.

GAAAAH it's a mess!

What I want to do is have this archery article as the main pillar of articles about ranged weapons.

Keep articles based underneath it like:

Encompass bows, crossbows and blowguns, I guess in this article or in the other.
