Merida's love for archery is first seen when at six years old she wanted to try King Fergus's full-sized bow as it sat on a table.
The disks appeared to be adorned with the sword-and-interlocking-circles crest of Clan DunBroch. A vital hunter's accessory, the disks serve to dampen and quiet the twang sound of a released string striking the limbs. Another recurve, this one had intricately carved scrollwork on the back, or side facing away from the bowman, and was outfitted with bowstring dampening disks at the nocks of both upper and lower limbs. However, there were extras which reflected Merida's dedicated proficiency in archery. It too was just shy of her own body height. This bow was apparently relatively new to her as she was seen etching a stylized eagle into its belly, the side facing the bowman, something she would have done before had she had it any length of time. The second bow seen in Merida's possession looked very much like the one her father gave her as a child, and why many think it was the same. Wooden, it had white limbs with a brown leather-wrapped riser. A recurve, it was nearly as tall as her six-year-old self.
