long bow is pretty powerfull, but way to slow

 

short bow is less powerful, but has good speed

 

composite bow is kinda mix between them (I think they're slightly better then long or short)

 

 

 

(all off course if you compare long, short and composite of the same material)

Short bow - Short range, shoots fast (most efficient)

 

Long bow - very long range, shoots slower

 

Comp bow - About same speed of long bow but arrows hit a bit harder

 

 

 

Not entirely sure about comp bow though.

They're as slow as long bows...waste of time tbh.

Short is used because it gives the most exp per hour but long/comp bows give the most exp per arrow. Since exp>price for most RS players short is much more popular for training.

 

 

 

In wildy the msb is much better than longs because it hits long and constant and can KO with its 2 hit special while long just guarntees a hit.

how does a longbow gives more xp/arrow then a shortbow̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâÿ? it has the same range bonus :-s

There are three sides to every story: There's one side, there's the other, and there's the truth.

^^ you mean shortbow, since you fire more arrows per hour you get more xp per hour.

I believe that the composite bow on accurate has the same speed as a longbow on rapid, and the composite bow on rapid has the same speed as a short bow on accurate.

 

 

 

It's pretty much a the best (or worst) of both worlds.

 

 

 

A crystal bow has the same speed as a composite bow as well.
