Rohan is not well known for its archers, but that doesn’t mean that the Rohirrim make no use of them. Some men simply can’t afford a horse, or they dismount to fight in fortresses on foot. The Archers of Rohan, compared to other archers in Middle-earth, are only average shooters, but they still have many uses for any Rohirrim commander. The men that choose to use a bow instead of fighting with spears and swords are often those that either live in wooded areas or in the wide lands of the north. In those lands they use the bow as their primary weapon for the hunt, and that has given them a certain expertise which is useful in battle. These men wear mail armour and a helmet for protection, and they use a simple axe for close combat situations. Eorling Archers have somewhat low morale and they are not to be expected to turn the tide of a battle, but as long as a wise commander keeps these men out of the battle clashes, their arrows will find their targets and contribute greatly to the Rohirrim.
