Representative I-Juca-Pirama
The Master Archer is someone noted, either by the narrative or by other characters, for being an excellent shot with a bow and arrow, maybe to the point of being the best in the world. Maybe they hunt legendary beasts that can be felled only by the most skilled archers. Maybe they’ve proven their worth in competitions or on the battlefield, displaying Improbable “Aiming Skills”, executing “Multishots” or “Splitting the Arrow” with ease, or having their opponents “Pinned to the Wall” from a distance. Maybe they win with sneaky “Trick Arrows”. Or maybe they’re a mysterious and anonymous figure who shoots their arrows from the shadows, and nobody knows where to find them. Either way, if they’ve got their arrows pointed at you, you better run — they can shoot you down from a distance, no matter how improbable it seems. This distinction immediately sets the character up as someone impressive or fearsome, especially if the bow and arrow is not a common weapon in the setting… ~ Master Archer – TV Tropes
