The Longbow Hunters are the main antagonistic faction of the seventh season of the CW series, Arrow. They are a team of assassins that have been hired by Ricardo Diaz to help him enact vengeance on Team Arrow.

Origins
Little is known about the Longbow Hunters. According to Anatoly Knyazev, the 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.

Alliance with Ricardo Diaz
Sometime in 2018, during the beginning of his downfall, crime lord Ricardo Diaz got in contact with the Longbow Hunters and they allied themselves with him.

Following Oliver Queen's incarceration 5 months later, the Hunters finally made their presence and stole a "super-battery" from an A.R.G.U.S. facility. Later, Kodiak and Red Dart, along with Diaz, are pursued by A.R.G.U.S. agents on a train and fight them, proving their fearsome capabilities. Meanwhile, Silencer ambushes Black Siren and Dinah Drake at one of Diaz's old facilities but is later forced to retreat.
