As it says in the title. I mainly need confirmation on the speed and distance relative to the regular 5 types of bows (short, recurve, horn, long, flat).

Thanks

I guess this means I need a flatbow for pulling on my ele and not a storm bow!

I had an Eternal Bow that dropped for me in Tombs, and the type of it was Recurve.

I don't know if it's like this for Storm Bows, but I guess all Eternal Bows are Recurve.

According to wiki

storm is a long bow
eternal is a recurve bow

My experience with the storm is similar to my experience with a long bow so I suspect they are correct.

All Storm Bows are longbows. All Eternal Bows are recurve bows. Those are the only 2 bows I use, and I use my Storm Bow for pulling when I tank on my Dervish.

You know, you could have checked this yourself on the isle of the nameless. There is an archery range with targets at the different distances.

Actually, doesn't the description (that pops up when you place the cursor over a bow) now include the type of bow it is (since some recent update)?
Down at the bottom of the description, it used to just say "Two handed weapon", now it says "Two handed <bowtype>". For example, the Storm Bow should say "Two handed longbow".

Makes things a tad easier.
