Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A long, strong bow made of yew.

Longbows are an upgrade over shortbows, dealing more damage and even firing faster at maximum skill.

Prior to 0.30, longbows had 12 damage, 17 base delay, and a mindelay of 6.
In 0.29, longbows had their damage and mindelay reduced (previously 15 damage, 7 mindelay) . They were affected by the ranged weapons rework that applied to all launchers, including the removal of the dedicated bows skill and arrow requirement.
Longbows were introduced in 0.15.
