A Dwarven Bow is an archery weapon found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Unenchanted Dwarven Bows will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 12 and enchanted bows can be found at level 13. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
- Wielded by various NPC's.
- Found as random loot in chests, or as a world item throughout Skyrim.

Smithing
Crafting the bow requires a Smithing level of 30 and the Dwarven Smithing perk to create. It is made at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 2 x Dwarven Metal Ingots
- 1 x Iron Ingot
It can be upgraded with a Dwarven Metal Ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Dwarven Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
