Yes. You can make a base anywhere you like (how safe said base would be is up for debate).
Use plastic bags or feathers (crow drop) to make fletchings.
Archery IIRC
The best bow is the reflex recurve bow.
Skeletons and smokers are always hard to take out with ranged weaponry due to their ability to dodge ranged attacks or smoke.
I think this one has been adjusted in the current dev version, I’m not 100% sure. Also keep in mind there could be a spire nearby hidden in one of the forests.

Switch to a filter or gas mask before entering in the smoke. On a side note, mouth encumbrance, despite it showing an increase on your character menu (@ key), currently has no actual effect on your character so feel free to keep the filter mask on as long as you want.
As far as how to deal with the negative effects of inhaling smoke, I think it just goes away with time.
As a final product, metal arrow requires 7 archery and 1 mechanic. A weaker metal alternative would be “sharpened metal arrow” which requires 5 archery and 1 mechanic.
