I have a stormbow and a flatbow. Is there a difference? People pay a lot for max damage stormbows, but next to nothing to max damage flatbows. I know the looks are one thing; but is there any other difference?

hmm not really
storm has a inherent lighting dam I think, and flatbows are moddable soo.. unless one has a built in mod other than grip or string mods

Well, I heard something about flight time, range, and reload time. I just don't know what's what, and if it's true.

yeah flight , arc, and firing rate and distance also is important short bows has the least distance, but better firing rate, etc

Yeah basically short bows have high Rate of Fire and other bows have longer range but lower rate of fire. A great all around bow would be a flatbow to get the best of all worlds.

But what i want to know is, if you initiated a skill such as "tiger fury" where it increases attack spead by 33%, does that negate the Rate of Fire difference for each bow?

No. A shortbow with Tiger's Fury will shoot faster than a Long Bow with Tiger's Fury.

Storm Bow does not come with inherent Shocking mod on it.

Flatbow has the EXACT same speed as Short Bow, last time I checked, on the Guild Wars Guru site, so...
