No, the longbow shoots much further.
The increased range of the weapon allowed it to hit targets further away with greater accuracy compared to similar weapons.
A longbow was much lighter than a crossbow and provided a better rate of fire.
a compound bow is shorter and uses pulleys to let the user holds the arrow back for long times. A Recurve bow is more like a typical longbow, with less power than a compound, and doesn't use the advantage of pulley's. you are constantly holding back whatever poundage the bow has, and poundage cannot be adjusted. poundage for a Recurve is around 40-60, and a compound has around 50-100 draw.
Bolts from the crossbow can be stronger than a longbow but longbow's can shoot arrows from long range and crossbows are useful to kill people on PVP or to kill them on any knids of Mini - game.But in my opinion , crossbows was my idea to use for hitting harder.
Yes
An oak longbow has a further range distance and a higher ranged bonus allowing for higher hits and more safespots, an oak shortbow hits faster allowing for much faster training. Shortbows are usually recommended due to their faster speed and only having slightly less power than a longbow, except in some circumstances where longer range is needed for safe-spotting than a longbow is recommended.
It shot arrows longer distances than shortbows.
A compound bow is typically more powerful than a longbow due to its design which includes cams and pulleys that store and release more energy during the shot. This allows compound bows to shoot arrows faster and with more accuracy over longer distances compared to traditional longbows.
help answer it
There was no inventor. The bow was longer than the standard bow.
they both shoot far but the 408 is more accurate and even stronger than the 50 cal but to answer the question the 408 shoots further.
