Shortbows fire arrows at a faster rate than shieldbows but cannot fire from as long of a distance. They also offer higher damage bonus at the cost of no defensive bonuses.

The attack range of all shortbows is 7 spaces, with the exception of Decimation and the Noxious longbow, which both have a range of 9 spaces.
