In a fit of rage, Elinor then throws Merida's bow into the fireplace. Merida then attempts to rebel further by drawing her sword down and through the tapestry between the figures of herself and her mother, effectively slicing it in half and creating a metaphorical rift between them. Elinor, in her anger and disappointment drags Merida to the tapestry room to properly argue with her the devistation of the princess’ actions. Despite Elinor’s objections, she hits the bullseye of every target, even splitting Wee’s arrow already sitting in the centre of the target clean in half. When the final suitor has fires his arrow, Merida sneaks off to the field to place the Dunbroch crest in the ground, and prove her capability at archery, as well as her intolerance of the situation.

As the suitors shoot at their respective targets, she chats with Fergus about each of them until Wee Dingwall wins by accident, striking a bullseye. Merida takes her bow and arrows into the games with her and hides them behind her throne, unbeknownst to the king and queen. On the day the sutiors are presented to the princess, Merida comes up with the plan to compete for her own hand in the games. Unlike the previous time we see her shoot arrows, she manages to hit them all with ease She uses her bow to fire arrows at targets she has set up along the trail in the forest.

Ten years later, when Merida is out riding Angus on one of her free days, she can be seen with her bow and quiver. Disheartened that she could not hit the target, her mother Elinor requests for Merida to go and retrieve the lost arrow. Merida, while being instructed by her father, tries firing arrows with her new bow (missing every shot) until the last arrow she fires is shot into the forest. Merida's shortbow is first seen when King Fergus presented it to her as a birthday present, much to Queen Elinor's disapproval. Merida's Bow is Merida's primary weapon of choice it was given to her by her father King Fergus on her sixth birthday.
