In-game description
"Short bows were the first bows to be developed, although they were not called such. This is more of a default term that refers to anything which is not a long bow. Short bow staves are about 5 feet long on the average. This short bow is the rival of any of the larger bows. The magic inherent within it, whether from the wood or the spellcasting of a mage, makes this bow more accurate and damaging than a normal bow."
