- This article is about the item made from ordinary logs. For shortbows in general, see Shortbow (bow type).
The Shortbow is the weakest shortbow in RuneScape and can use arrows up to iron. Players can purchase this bow from Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock or Brian's Archery Shop in Rimmington.
Members can make a shortbow through the Fletching skill at level 5. First, a player must cut an unstrung shortbow from logs, granting 5 Fletching experience. Then, the player must string the unstrung shortbow with a bow string, granting 5 experience.
Previously, all new players would obtain a free shortbow after completing the Tutorial but due to the Tutorial update, you will no longer obtain one.
