A simple recurve bow made from the stiff leg-bones of a salthopper.

Perfect

A short bow is a low-tier bow, likely the first that the player will encounter in their playthrough.

Among other creatures, short bows are wielded by snapjaw hunters.

Mechanics

Regardless of the type of arrow loaded into the short bow, its penetration will always be 4. Unlike the compound bow, this penetration cannot be increased by the wielder's strength modifier. [1][2]

When it strikes a critical hit, the short bow will instead have a penetration of 6. [3]
