### Repairing

An hunter's bow can be repaired on an anvil with a bow. They can also be repaired by combining two of the same type of items together in a crafting interface, or [grindstone](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Grindstone).

## Usage

### Bow

Hunter's bows mostly functions the same as regular bows.

### Hunting

When an animal is killed with an arrow shot by this bow, it would increase the number of item drops by making it as though the animal was killed with [Looting](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Looting) IV weapon.
