A bow in Minecraft is a ranged weapon, with its help you can shoot mobs and other players. In order to shoot, you have to aim and right-click. As soon as the player releases the button the arrow will fly at the target. The bow has a certain durability reserve, which spends while shooting. You can enchant the bow for the unbreakability, power, and burning arrow, although the most useful enchantments are infinity and mending. Such mobs as skeletons are using a bow, so when you kill them, there is a chance of the bow falling out (usually needing a repair). You can buy a bow from Fletcher.
