I'm only going to clan pk with it, so expenses aside, which is the stronger bow?

the Longbow sighted gives +110 range bonus

The Gravite Short bow gives +47 range bonus

 

It only costs 10k tokens to replace the Sighted longbow, but 40k tokens to replace the shortbow.

Both bows fire Addy Arrows

The gravite Shortbow fires a little faster then the longbow

The longbow hits more often.

 

I'd say the Sighted Longbow.

It would then come down to what you are doing and whether or not you need that accuracy. If you are killing flesh crawlers or something, or you have a high ranged level and aren't PKing, the Gravite bow is probably better since you will get a higher dps rate. However, if you are hitting too many 0s, the sighted bow is better.

Let's say I'm trying to hit through 99 def full rune. Which one would I want? I would think the maple longbow sighted.

Maple Long-bow sighted is the best for hitting through rune, and is probably better when against an opponent in d'hide also.

Hitting through rune and 99 def and I would say it goes to the sighted bow. But we have to remember that the speed of the sight bow is that of a longbow, which on rapid is a longsword and accurate a godsword. The main thing F2P ranged has going for it is the stupidly fast hits. I think in PVP with all the pures and such it might be better to use the gravite, but replacement/repair costs might be prohibitive.
