Shortbow

From Guild Wars Wiki

This article is about the bow class. For the weapon of the same name, see Shortbow (weapon).

A shortbow is a bow class. It has a short range, short refire rate and a medium arc.

Shortbows are used as an alternative to Flatbows when Read the Wind or Favorable Winds are not available, and the high arc of flatbows would lead to too many misses.
