A Willow short (u) is cut from Willow logs at 35 fletching, granting 33.3 experience. An unstrung willow longbow can be strung using a bowstring at 35 fletching, granting an additional 33.3 experience thus making a willow shortbow. However, to train, players may do better by waiting until level 55 fletching and using their bowstrings for maple longbows, due to the low value of willow shortbows. Because of the low price and ease of obtaining willow logs, cutting them into longbows, and gaining experience this way, there is currently an excess of willow longbow (u)s on the Grand Exchange.
