The '''Mini Bow''' (Japanese: {{hover|ショートボウ|Shōtobō}} ''Shortbow''), also called the '''Short Bow''' (Japanese: {{hover|短弓|tan yumi}} ''Shortbow''), is an uncommon [[Bow (weapon)|bow-type]] weapon in the {{FES}}, debuting in {{title|Thracia 776}} and appearing in all three [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] games before disappearing, only to reappear in {{title|Fates}}. The main features of this weapon depend on the game where it is present. In ''Thracia 776,'' it is a very common and unexpensive bow, while in the [[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade|next]] [[Fire Emblem (game)|two]] games, it is mainly used by [[Nomad|mounted]] [[Nomadic Trooper|warriors]] from [[Sacae]]. It is an uncommon but fairly normal bow in ''The Sacred Stones.''


In the [[Elibe]] and [[Magvel]] games, it has a small critical bonus. Despite its name, the Short Bow did not serve as a close-range bow until its reappearance in {{title|Fates}}, where&mdash;unusually for a bow&mdash;it is only capable of damage from melee [[range]].
The '''Short Bow''' (Japanese: {{hl|ショートボウ|Shōtobō}} ''Shortbow'' or {{hl|短弓|tan yumi}} ''Shortbow'') is an uncommon [[bow]]-type weapon in the {{FES}}, debuting in {{title|Thracia 776}} and appearing in all three [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] games. The main features of this weapon depend on the game where it is present: in ''Thracia 776,'' it is a very common and inexpensive bow; in {{title|The Binding Blade}} and {{title|The Blazing Blade}}, it is mainly used by mounted archers from [[Sacae]]; it is an uncommon but fairly normal bow in {{title|The Sacred Stones}}. In the Game Boy Advance games, it has a small critical bonus.
