-----------------------------------------------------------------
After parting ways with Hans, your path to the wedding involves either assisting a blacksmith or a miller. Regardless of your chosen profession, the blacksmith's marker on your map conveniently leads you to the bow's location. Even if you opt for the miller's path, this shortcut still works.
The blacksmith's workshop is situated in Tachov, north of Troskowitz (where the prologue concludes). Head west from Troskowitz, following the path as it curves north. At the fork in the road, where a smaller path branches west, turn right towards a cluster of trees. This seemingly unremarkable area hides a small training ground.
Within this cluster, you'll find a target riddled with arrows—free ammunition! To the right of the target, leaning against a tree trunk, rests the Dogwood Village Bow. While you're there, grab some brew from the nearby stump and gather any mushrooms you find. Once you're equipped, continue with your quest.

Other Ways to Acquire the Dogwood Village Bow
------------------------------------------------------------------------While you can purchase the Dogwood Village Bow from Huntsman’s Son Vitek in Tachov, it's not the most powerful ranged weapon, and certainly not worth the price when a free one is so readily available. Vitek does, however, sell superior weapons, and you can supplement your funds through alchemy by collecting herbs and brewing potions.
Whether you choose the free bow or pursue other weaponry, having a ranged option is invaluable, especially given the game's difficulty. The melee combat, while similar to the first game, may not suit all players. A ranged approach can significantly ease the early game challenges.
After securing the bow, you can proceed to Tachov to become a blacksmith (save your game after successfully forging a sword), or continue the main quest by visiting the miller. With your new ranged weapon, you'll be better prepared for the challenges ahead in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*.
That's how to obtain the free Dogwood Village Bow early in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Enjoy!
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
