==Behind the scenes== |

The first known instance of bows and arrows in the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise was in "[[Through the Door]]", where several fairy tale or literary figures entered [[Ponyland]] through the [[Golden Door]], including [[Robin Hood]]. Probably because ponies lack apposable thumbs, archery has rarely been used in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' media but has appeared in the comic story, ''[[Bookworms]]'', a Robin Hood like figure is seen with a carrot bow and arrow. |

Bows made their most prominent appearance in ''[[Equestria Girls: Friendship Games]]'' when archery was shown as a sport in the [[Friendship Games]]. |
