Short Bow +1	BOW06
Short bows were the first 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. As the years passed, attempts were made to increase bow ranges. Bows were either given longer staves or flexibility was increased with no change to the length. The former resulted in what is now called the long bow.

Eagle Bow	BOW08
Short bow, eagle bow: ‘Protector of the Dryads’ In order to protect their community from an encroaching orc logging encampment, the hero Hannable the White was given this magnificent bow by the dryads of Gulthmere Forest. A deadly confrontation followed when the loggers dared to try and cut down a great oak tree, nearly killing the dryad linked to it. With the help of powerful forest animals Hannable slew entire bands of orcs before any more damage was inflicted upon the wood. The orcs were forced to abandon their plans, lest they suffer the continued wrath of Hannable and the forest. Needless to say, the hero who aided the grateful dryads lived happily . . . nay, VERY happily ever after!’	Statistics : Damage: +2 THACO: +2 Weight: 2 Speed Factor: 4 Game Stats : Price: 4,500 Lore: 50 Range: 75
Long Bow +1	BOW04
The long bow is similar to the short bow, except that the staff is about as high as the archer is, usually 6 to 6.5 feet. Even though the longbow is slightly slower then the short bow, it has more range and is more accurate. This one has been enhanced with magical properties, giving it an air of perfection.

These were developed after the normal long bow.

Messenger of Sseth	BOWMESS
This wicked bow was crafted thousands of years ago for a powerful yuan-ti archer named Apali. The number of men, women, and children Apali killed with the aid of the bow is almost unbelievable, as the soldier waged war against humans for hundreds of years before he was finally laid low in Chessenta by a priest of Assuran, god of vengeance. Apali had killed the priest's great-great grandfather in Chult over a hundred years earlier. The item is easily recognized because of the red and black banding on the grip and the carved snake heads at the ends of the bow. The red and black bandings represent Apali's family, from a caste of priests. The snake heads represent Sseth, the god of the yuan-ti.
