Bow  - Ollie €™s bow is extremely strong and resistant to normal damage and battle stress.   He tends to carry a back up folded compound bow on the back of his quiver.

Quiver   €“ Ollie €™s quiver holds at least 30 arrows locked into place.   A quick turn and jerk removes the arrow from its space and readies it for firing.   This locking mechanism accounts for Ollie not losing arrows out of his quiver all the time.
