The maple shortbow requires a Ranged level of 30 or higher to wield. The attack range of the maple shortbow is 7 spaces. Players can purchase this bow from some shops that carry Ranged equipment.

Players can make a maple shortbow through the Fletching skill at level 50. First, a player must cut an unstrung maple shortbow from maple logs, granting 50 Fletching experience. Then, the player can string the maple shortbow (u) with a bowstring for another 50 experience.
