Bow Type (Candy Cane)

I was just wondering what type of bow Candy Cane's are?
It seems to have the distance of a short bow, but I don't think it has the arrow speed of a short bow.

I seem to be able to interrupt with short bows better than candy cane bows.

Anyone help me out?

I just hopped over to the Isle of the Nameless to check. It's a shortbow.
