This is the ultimate guide to pure range. No non-combat skilling or food is required and it takes 1-2 weeks playing a few hours a day to get from 1-70 ranged.
STEP ONE: Make your character on tutorial island and train your range level to 3. After that, log out and set some recovery questions just incase.
STEP TWO: After completing tutorial island, go to the house beside the lumbrige guide and go down the ladder. Then talk to Sir Vant and offer to kill the dragon and he should give you two experience lamps. Use both of them on range. Then proceed the barbarian village, and there if you are in a populated world, there should be many people fishing trout and salmon. Just ask for 10 cooked trout/salmon as you will need them to get the fancy/warrior boots along with the 10k. After you have gotten the food, go down the ladder in the middle of the barbarian village and complete the levels until you get to the end and get the boots. If you are having trouble, you can just go online and search for the fastest routes to the end of each level. After you have gotten the boots and 10k, go to the underground tunnel where the cockroaches are, (just above barbarian village) and read all the signs. Proceed upstairs and write the safety test. Hopefully you passed:) unlike me who actually failed it many times. If you passed, you should get two experience lamps, each giving 500 exp to any stat. Use them both on range and you should have around 13 range with 10hp. Then you should go down the ladder into the evil lair of the cockroaches, but dont worry they arn't agressive:). Find the GIANT chest and take the 10k with the safety gloves.
STEP THREE: Now that you have 20k, you dont need to skill for more money unless your going to train attack to 40 which is quite expensive if your not a very good pker and die a lot like me. Sell all the stuff from the tutorial island and buy all the necessary materials. I think all of them are leather chaps, leather vambs, leather coif, leather body, studded chaps, a crossbow with 1000 bronze bolts and 1000 bronze arrows with a willow shortbow. Start off using the crossbow and it is reccomended that you power range becuase bolts are only 2gp each.
STEP FOUR: Now there are several places you can start off training where you wont need food. If you like having runescape money, (im not one of those people), and you would rather train slower with tons of money for later, you can kill chickens in lumbridge and collect the feathers, or range cows behind the fence and pick up the cow hides. Another option, if you want to skill and make money is you can power range on cows behind the fence, or on level one of the barbarian stronghold on the goblins through the first gate. Power ranging is where you just shoot without picking up the arrows. Do this until 20 range, as this shouldn't take too long.
