As they are so cheap, they aren't great as actual weapons. Short bows have the 3rd lowest {{DPS}} of all player-craftable ranged weapons in the game, ahead of only the [[pila]] and [[incendiary launcher]]. Other weaknesses include low accuracy and inability to stagger [[human]]s, something all other neolithic options can do. The short bow is best suited for close-quarters engagements due to its high close accuracy and slow projectile velocity. | As they are so cheap, they aren't great as actual weapons.
