| The shortbow is a compact simple bow, made of a single baulk of the properly selected and cured wood, bone, horn, or other strongly resilient material. They demand exquisite craftsmanship in forming them properly, but they need very little assembly.
You need two hands to use any bow, regardless of its size. A shortbow is compact enough to use while you are mounted. If you have a penalty for low Strength, apply it to damage rolls when you use a longbow. However, if you have a Strength bonus, it is not applied to the shortbow's damage. The shortbow has been invented many times by different cultures. All small simple bows, regardless of name, are shortbows. The shortbow belongs to the "Bows" weapon group. | |||||||||
