The Ogre bow is one of two bows that can use Ogre arrows. The other bow is the comp ogre bow which can also use brutal arrows.
The ogre bow is obtained from Rantz during the Big Chompy Bird Hunting quest. If you lose it, you may buy another from him for an amount which changes each time, but is in the range of 500-550 coins. You will also need this bow for Freeing Skrach Uglogwee in the Recipe for Disaster chain.
The ogre bow requires a Ranged level of 30 or higher to wield. The ranged attack bonus is greater than those of the Maple Bows, which also require a Ranged level of 30, although the Ogre Bow is slower than both the Maple Shortbow and Maple Longbow.
Regular Ogre bows cannot be made using the Fletching skill; Comp ogre bow can be made with level 30 Fletching.
This bow cannot be used for making barbarian firemaking of any sort.

Trivia
- When trying to light a barbarian fire with this bow it says: "This bow is vast, clumsy and most of a tree. You realise that this type of bow is useless for firelighting." The same message appears for the comp ogre bow.
- All of its attack styles (Accurate, Rapid, Long range) share the same maximum firing distance of 10 squares.
- The Ogre bow cannot be fletched and can only fire Ogre arrows .
- Even though the Comp ogre bow is able to fire both Ogre and Brutal arrows, has the same ranged attack bonus, attacks at a faster rate than the normal version and is fletchable (which makes it easy to re-obtain if lost), it may be better to use the ogre bow, since it has twice the range of the comp version, making it easier and faster to kill chompies with (since they usually try to run away), especially if the player is able to kill one with a single shot.
- Robert the Strong appears to wielding an ogre bow.
