Shortbow
“Short but effective.”
About this item
The standard shortbow is the lowest-tier shortbow in Old School RuneScape and can use arrows up to iron. Players can purchase this bow from Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock. Players are supplied with this bow along with several bronze arrows as their first ranged weapon on Tutorial Island. Members can make a shortbow through the Fletching skill at level 5.

Its high alch value of 30 does not cover the 154 nature rune it would burn, so alching is a loss before the item itself is counted.

Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary.
