Bows are weapons used in ranged combat that require a certain Ranged level to wield. They require ammunition in the form of arrows. Bows can be created by members through the Fletching skill and come in two varieties: longbows and shortbows.

[edit] Shortbows

Main article: Shortbow (bow type)

Shortbows fire arrows at a faster rate than longbows but may not fire from as long of a distance.

[edit] Longbows

Main article: Longbow (bow type)

Longbows can fire arrows at targets from a further distance than shortbows can, but they fire at a slower rate.

[edit] Trivia

Bows are held in a player's right hand. However, a right-handed person would normally hold a bow in his or her left hand. This would imply that Runescape's players are all ambidextrous or left-handed.
