The '''Short Bow''' (Japanese: {{hover|ショートボウ|Shōtobō}} ''Shortbow'' or {{hover|短弓|tan yumi}} ''Shortbow'') is an uncommon [[Bow|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 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.
