The Longbow Hunters are a group comprised of three deadly assassins.

Overview
Despite the Longbow Hunters been comprised only of three assassins, they are quite terrifying; as they are feared, even by the League of Assassins.

History
According to Anatoly Knyazev, the Longbow Hunters were perceived as a myth. They consisted of only three assassins, but still stroke fear into all who went up against them including the League of Assassins, and were believed to have died out by the 1950s.

Allying with Ricardo Diaz
Sometime in 2018, after becoming the leader of The Quadrant, Ricardo Diaz got in contact with the Longbow Hunters and they allied themselves with him.

Attack on Star City
Five months after Ricardo Diaz was forced into hiding, the Longbow Hunters broke in an off-site facility of A.R.G.U.S. where they stole prototype B-24, a high densitable renewable battery able to power an entire town.

The group later attempted to raid a train to steal an energy weapon that could be used combined with the B-24. John Diggle and a team of A.R.G.U.S. agents tried to stop them but they ambushed them and took out the agents. John was able to get to the weapon and escape, causing the longbow hunters to fail.

The group later attempted a break in on CDC, a secure government facility to steal a biocompound. The Longbow Hunters encountered Samanda Watson, Dinah Drake and Ramirez who tried to stop them. After a fight the group got the biocompound and escaped the facility, however, Silencer ended up captured.
