	Flatbow - GuildWiki
		Flatbow is a bow with the range of the longbow and the speed of the shortbow, but it balances these strengths with a very long flight time.
		Tyrian Flatbows are identical in appearance to Ascalon Bows, with two sets of limbs.
		Canthan Flatbows are made of wood and metal, with feathers and a wrapping, with the same appearance as Feathered Flatbows.

	flatbow
		Flatbows are usually wooden selfbows (bows made of one solid piece of wood), though composite flatbows can and have been made in ancient and modern times.
		Flatbows were used by Native American tribes such as the Hupa, Karok, and Wampanoag, prehistoric ancient Europeans, some inuit tribes, Finno-Ugric nations and a number of other pre-gunpower societies for hunting and warfare because they are easily crafted, and, unlike longbows, excellent flatbows can be made from nearly any type of wood.
		In a flatbow, the flat belly and back ensures that all of the most highly strained wood is a uniform distance from the neutral axis, minimizing stress and making weaker woods far less likely to fail (break or become permanently bent and lose the springiness needed in a bow).

	The Principle of Complements
		A common misconception is that a flatbow must have a flat belly.
		Compared to a longbow, a flatbow is a bow that has been made wider so it can be made shorter, regardless of its belly shape.
		The term flatbow is simply a designation for one of three basic bow styles--flatbow, longbow and recurve (which, depending upon materials used, can be constructed as self, laminated and composite bows).

	Troubled Times: Wood Type
		Make your white wood bow wider (in the case of the flatbow) or longer (in the case of the longbow).
		In the case of a flatbow, this amount only applies to the maximum width of the bow.
		With white wood flatbows, I always use 2 1/8" at widest point with handle remaining the same width and thickness as it would in a premier wood bow.

		Native Americans used longbows (especially on the east coast) and flatbows (especially on the west coast), often recurved, made from various hardwood species, such as hickory.
		The limbs of a flatbow have a rectangular cross-section, rather than curved or "crowned" as with a longbow.
		The typical modern flatbow is made from a whitewood such as ash, hickory, hazel, or oak, with limbs about 2 inches (5 cm) wide, tapering in the last outer third of the limbs to ½-inch (1 cm) nocks.

		The appearance of the bow remains as a Flatbow/Longbow, but it can be either a Flatbow, a Long bow, a Composite Bow, or a Short bow as far as range, arrow speed, and rate of fire.
		Flatbows can also deal a similar amount of damage, but they are inaccurate at long range.
		The Flatbow allows me to pull targets at a much longer range, while I use the increased fire rate and arrow speed of the Half-Moon bow at close range.

		To their Shalishan neighbours they are known as Skalzi, "lake, or water, people", and to the French as Arez-à-plats, Anglicized Flatbows.
		They have a distinct tradition of having formerly lived in the plains east of the Rockies, whence they were probably driven by the Blackfeet, their hereditary enemies.
		They are commonly differentiated as Upper and Lower (or Flatbow proper), approximately in British Columbia and the United States respectively, with several minor subdivisions and two main dialects.

	Bows
		The Flatbow is found all over the world and is one of the oldest designs in existence, with actual relics dating back some 9,000 years.
		Historically, because it is shorter, this type of bow was favored by hunters in wooded regions, by horse archers, and by warriors who used guerrilla tactics as opposed to soldiers who faced the enemy in exposed lines.
		The popularity of all wooden bows declined in the '50's and 60's, but it is significant to note that the flat limb was adopted by all manufacturers of fiberglas and laminated bows and even compounds.

		In general, it benefits Rangers to carry a longbow, flatbow, recurve bow, and shortbow.
		A flatbow shoots in a high enough arc to strike Archers defending a base wall, but moving targets easily dodge this arc.
		A longbow has the same range as as a flatbow but a lower arc, making it harder to dodge.

		In Europe the latter approach was used, with yew being the wood of choice, because of its high compressive strength, light weight and elasticity.
		Commoner and cheaper hard woods, like elm, oak, ash, hazel or maple are good for flatbows.
		A narrow longbow with high draw-weight can be made from these woods, but it is likely to take a permanent bend (known as "set" or "following the string") and would likely be outshot by an equivalent made of yew.

		It seems most like some sort of flatbow, though I don't know what materials it's made from.
		It was originally 23# at 28" (LRP bows are permitted a max of 30#, and I'm a weakling) but even with the minimal use it's got it's now drawing 20#.

		I may not do as much damage per hit but the time between arrowshots well make up for the damage.
		In PvP I'll probably stick with the flatbow since it has the longest range and spits out a good bit of damage per arrow.
		Thought dmg was dependent on the bow you find, not the type, and bow dmgs are fairly variable.
