A Rune Crossbow is better to train Range with than Magic Short, Long or composite bow.
The Rune cross bow is mainly good for dragons ..as for magic short bow would be used for other purposes .. but i would prefer the rune cb
Crystal bow (fully charged) , Dark bow , Rune C Bow, Chaotic C bow, Magic longbow (sighted), seercul bow .
The rune crossbow is probably the best way to go since its faster it would be a lot cheaper
rune crossbow is a good crossbow. and dark bow is the best longbow.
The guide (runescape.wikia) states "yew or better", so I guess that would be yew or magic. Check the skill guide for the "Ranged" skill; if any special bow has higher requirements than yew, it will probably work, as well.
Katniss is a better archer than Gale. She is amazing with a bow and arrows; she never misses.
The crystal bow degrades in status after every 250 shots. The status of the bow is per player and not per bow. Thus if you have previously used a crystal bow and degraded it with use, the degradation will apply to a new bow purchased on the Grand Exchange, and you will not be able to sell it back, since only new bows can be sold.
It depends on what your planning on doing if your pking i would say use a dark bow for the spec then switch to a mage short, but if your training a rune c'bow would defintily get you more exp per hour because its alot faster then a dark bow. Also if your training i'd recommend using neaither and trying to get bronze or iron knives and kill rockcrabs or yakks. But overall to simply answer your question the Rune C'Bow is by far the better weapon mostly because of the enchanted bolts you can use. youtube some max hits with it I've seen people hit 200's...
i thought like updating this whole piece of writing as its out dated and partially wrong so basicly dark bow and crystal bows are slower but dark bow is abit more slower but shoots 2 arrows a time as a crystal bow is only one but with the dbow you spend like 300 k to 400 k and then you need to buy arrows crystal bow has 2500 shots and degrades after every 250 shots so from 10/10 down to eventually 0/0 and to weild it you need to do plauge city biohazard underground pass regicide and roving elves which requires a minimum of 51 agility with summers pie although cry bow gets slightly worse each time and only has 2500 shots but as it requires 70 range it makes it better stats and most people buyiung dark bows use bronze arrows or iron because they dont wanna spend money on arrows but with a crystal bow you spend your money for the best arrows there are even though it doesnt have arrows but if your going to have money then go for cry bow if not go for mage bow over dark bow
Yes, short bows have higher DPS than long bows. (Excluding bows such as dark bow with dragon arrows and the Zaryte bow)
Nope
