Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A long, strong bow made of yew.

Longbows are an upgrade over shortbows, dealing more damage. They fire faster than arbalests.

Prior to 0.30, longbows had 12 damage, 17 base delay, and a mindelay of 6.
In 0.29, longbows had their damage and mindelay reduced (previously 15 damage, 7 mindelay) . They were affected by the ranged weapons rework that applied to all launchers, including the removal of the dedicated bows skill and arrow requirement.
Longbows were introduced in 0.15.
