A shortbow is about four or five feet long. When unstrung, it is a slightly curved shaft of wood.
Bonus damage from strength with a shortbow maxes out at 4. If you have a higher strength score and you want to make use of it, you have to use a Composite Shortbow.
When shooting at range with a shortbow, for every range increment that the arrow must fly, the arrow deals one less die of damage. Once the damage is down to three dice it doesn't decrease any farther.
As is normal for bows, a shortbow cannot fire arrows that are not designed for a shortbow. It can, of course, share arrows made for a Composite Shortbow.
