Shortbows for sure. They are much faster, thus making them the best for training.

Definitely short bows for training, long bows are way too slow. However, if you are going pking i would suggest you bring both.

Shortbows, they are much faster than longbows.

Every path you have trod, through wilderness and through war, has led to this road...

Short bows. They are faster. But if you are training I would suggest knives, as they are LOADS LOADS faster.

Actually that's a lie. Long bows have the same stats. They're just slower with longer range (which doesn't really matter).

[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.

Jagex says otherwise:

 

Longbows are more powerful, but at the price of rate of fire. Short bows have a quicker rate of fire, but they sacrifice damage inflicted to achieve this.

Time to update the Ranged Max Hit Calculator? AGAIN!

Why is 'common sense' so named, when there is so little of it about?
