The long bow is a missile weapon, commonly referred to as a ranged weapon, that fires a projectile (usually a wooden [[Arrow|arrow]]), and requires the [[Ranged Weapons|ranged weapon skill]] to use effectively. A long bow is particularly large, often about the height of an archer and has a longer [[Roundtime|roundtime]] then its siblings, the [[Short bow|short bow]] and [[Composite bow|composite bow]] but will do more damage.

When used in the left hand, missile weapons function normally as ranged weapons, however, in a pinch the user may switch the weapon to his or her right hand and use it as a melee weapon. When used in melee to attack or parry, the long bow acts as a [[quarterstaff]] (including [[Attack versus defense|AvD]] stats). [[Two-Handed Weapons|Two-handed weapon]] skill is recommended for using the weapon in this manner.
