The Half-Giant short bow is a formidable weapon scaled for immense strength, appearing closer in size to a long bow when compared to human arms. Its thick, shortened limbs are crafted from reinforced hardwood or horn-laminated wood, designed to endure tremendous draw weight without sacrificing responsiveness.
When drawn by a Half-Giant, the bow delivers explosive power at close to medium range. Heavy shafts are loosed with brutal speed, striking with enough force to shatter shields or stagger heavily armored foes. What the bow lacks in extreme range, it more than compensates for in raw impact and rapid follow-up shots.
Though oversized and unwieldy to smaller races, the Half-Giant short bow is prized by its wielders for skirmishing and battlefield dominance. It is often used to break enemy lines before closing in, turning overwhelming physical strength into precise and terrifying ranged attacks.
