The willow shieldbow is the fifth strongest shieldbow available to free players. The willow shieldbow requires a Ranged and Defence level of 20 or higher to wield. Players can purchase this bow from various shops that sell Ranged equipment.

Players can make a willow shieldbow using the Fletching skill at level 40. First, they must cut an unstrung willow shieldbow from willow logs, which grants 41.5 Fletching experience. Then, they must string the unstrung willow shieldbow with a bowstring, which grants 41.5 experience.

Like all shieldbows and unlike most other weapons, it incorporates a shield inseparably. Therefore, it provides armour and counts as a shield for Defence abilities, such as Rejuvenate. The attack range of the willow shieldbow is 8 spaces.
