I THINK this is still working in 1.19.8... honestly, it's kind of hard to tell, since it's all probability stuff.

It doesn't seem to be crashing, at the very least 😎.

Afaik, works 1.7.4, even with Bullseye.

Works fine in 1.16, should work through most major version changes in the future.

Updated to include new bows, arrows have been further tweaked to have lower break chances to keep up with 1.15 changes. Also reduces curing time for bow staves from 7 days to 3.
