In mobile (idk if it’s on pc) you can do “hunt dilophosaur” quest to get a ascended one

How do you get a recurve bow?(btw I’m on ARK mobile)

A classic, iconic ranged weapon. The Bow. Used with arrows to deal damage, it is also the second ranged weapon the survivor can unlock, being beaten by a slingshot, and is the first to be able to change ammo, from stone to Tranq
