The magic shortbow was, and is, better than the magic composite bow.
Especially now that longbows have become shieldbows and composite bows didn't retain their half and half status of being between the long/short for speed/range.
A Rune Crossbow is better to train Range with than Magic Short, Long or composite bow.
obviously combat, because of strength!
rune crossbow is a good crossbow. and dark bow is the best longbow.
Your attack stats don't but look at you Magic bonus on attack, that does.
Runescape was originally called deviousmud, which was made by Andrew Gower and Paul Gower, this was quickly changed to runescape. Scape means land and rune is a old stone that was believed to have magic powers. Runes are used in the magic skill for casting spells, and plays a major role in the MMORPG.
The better bow to train range with within Runescape is most likely the magic shortbow, this is because of the one disadvantage the dark bow has while training range, the dark bow is so slow between hits that if you are ranging in a single combat area, another player can steal your monster between hits, therefore the magic shortbow is a much more pratical bow to use but if u use a dark bow u can make money easy as well as training, because of the spec that the dark bow has. so it all up to u realy on what u like better. hope i have helped. (you could use a magic shortbow to shoot with speed, then use the dark bow spec which its ready, then go back to the magic shortbow and repeat etc)

Usually a magic longbow. But it depends on what you'd rather have. Shortbows are my accurate while longbows are more stronger. So it based on whether you'd hit more or hit stronger.
Ranging ogres north or ardougne is a good way to gain fast xp at these lower levels, using a magic shortbow and the highest level arrows you can weild. No hes trying to get to 50 he can't wear a magic shorbow
The magic shortbow has +69 range bonus and a special attack called snapshot. The magic longbow has the same range bonus and a special attack called powershot. A magic comp bow has +71 range bonus. So it's pretty good. P.S. The special attacks are members' only, and the magic comp bow is member only.

There is no "magic mage" on RuneScape. There are various ways to train magic, and there are various mages, or wizards.
Magic bonuses.
It gives good magic stat boosts.
In Runescape all the weapons are desgined for purpose. if you are saying the fastest weapon then that would be scimiters and shortbow from my point of view i personally think sara sword is the best weapon for training str due to its great bonus and speed. if you are training att/def then i suggest a whip would do good.The best ranging weapon would be dark bow but due to its lack of speed magic bow is better. Although pkers use Dark bow for pk 1 hit kO
There is no magic planks in runescape. Only plank, oak plank, teak plank and mahogany plank.
