Longbows are one of the stronger weapons for a ranged weapons user. At around 16 skill (or higher), a longbow will outdamage an [[arbalest]] against a 0 AC target if you have 0 encumbrance. An arbalest can still be better against high AC foes or if it has better properties, though the base delay introduces [[Heavy#Risks of >1.0 attack delay\|risks in combat]].
