Thornshatter 16STR, 3

Thornshatter is a recurve longbow. it appears to be made of many pieces of wood that have been fused together. Crit range while using this bow is extended by one. while using this bow the user may forgo movement and bonus actions to sight in on a target. the user must make a STR check(DC16) to be able to hold the draw while focusing on their target. when the user makes their attack they gain an additional 3 to attack and on a successful attack deal double damage. if a critical hit occurs damage is doubled again and the arrow shatters on impact dealing 1d6 piercing damage to others in a 5ft radius.. if the user would take damage in any way while sighting in, they must make a concentration check(DC16) or the arrow is loosed with a -6 to attack.
