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]].

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]].
