A [[crafting spot]] can be created almost anywhere, instantly, and wood is typically not hard to find. Any ranged weapon at all allows you to safely hunt animals; even 0% manhunter animals will retaliate in melee combat, but not range. Any weapon at all also gives a basic defense against hostile wildlife and raiders. |

Short bows have the 3rd lowest damage output out of all player ranged weapons in the game, ahead of the [[pila]] and non-combat [[incendiary launcher]]. Other weaknesses include low acuracy and inability to stagger [[human]]s. The short bow is best suited for close-quarters engagements due to its high close accuracy and slow projectile velocity. |

Two short bows are roughly equal to one of the aformentioned firearms. New Tribes can also create an upgrade, the [[recurve bow]], assuming someone has a Crafting skill of 5 or more. |

Overall, the short bow is best paired with a careful shooter until level 9, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the short bow is best paired with a careful shooter until level 9, and with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||
