Default Re: Why short bow instead of long bow?

Realistically, the reason to use a short bow is because you have short arms or short pieces of wood. Bows intended for use from horseback were also usually short, because a long lower limb tends to get fouled by your legs or horse, but didn't tend to be self bows.
