			A short bow is a ranged weapon typically around half the size of its cousin, the [[Long Bow Skill\|long bow]].

			Short bows are the lightest of all bow classes, having a default load time of two seconds. They tend to have the highest balance of the three [[stick bows]], and therefore are a popular choice for characters with high agility and low strength.
	Historically short bows are bows fashioned from a single material (traditionally wood in most cultures) and stringed with any number of things. Like [[Long Bow skill\|longbows]] they lack the [[Composite Bow skill\|composite bow]]s' defined recurve; they are generally much shorter than long bows, however, which made them popular weapons for use on horseback. Within Dragonrealms there are three categories of standard bow (from shortest roundtime to longest roundtime): short bow, longbow and composite bow.


	Short bows are the lightest of all bow classes, having a default load time of two seconds. They are versatile weapons, powerful but easily stored in many containers. Of all the bow classes, short bows generally have the best balance (damage bonus from agility), making them popular among smaller races who have very large penalties to strength.


	Capped player-made short bows have the highest balance on a standard bow-type available in-game, slightly edging out capped player-made longbows. Their small load time is an attractive feature. A capped short bow combined with capped arrows is an amazingly powerful weapon, though many players opt for longbows to maximize their damage potential.

	''Note: Returning players or players who do not frequent the Dragonrealms billboards should note that the evasion penalty once applied to using bows was removed after the 3x agility modifier was lowered to a standard modifier. Bows no longer have an evasion penalty associated with them.''
