== Shooting ==
This weapon is best used at 5 tiles range, or 20 m 20m when looking through a [[spyglass]]. Higher [[Skills:Short_bow|skill]] in this weapon gives more shooting options when used.
Bows must be wielded in your hands to be fired. Bows are two handed weapons, and cannot be equipped unless both hands are empty and you aren't wearing a shield.
*One strung Short bow is a component in making a [[bow trap]].
* The bow must be unstrung in order to improve it.
* A '''Short short bow''' is best made out of [[willow]]logs. Examining it will then say, "''The willow wood used in this bow gives it good strength yet supreme flexibility.''"
* Stringing with a [[bow string]] is needed to make the bow functional. Before that, examining it will say: "''An unstringed small bow.''"
