Definately Drago's flatbow or Destroyer flatbow.

I swear by it. The flatbow has the longest range & quickest refire rate.
The only slight disadvantage is the arc time but it's a minor side effect considering.

Long and recurve. Tormented for long and Silverwing for recurve.

Long and recurve are my favorite.

I use recurve for close/medium range.

When they run I pull out the ole' longbow

Flatbow is nice too, but the arc is hard to pull moving targets.

Recurve Bows for me

I like the Bladed Recurve Bow skin; Petraj's Recurve Bow uses that skin also

Absolutely Recurve. Longbows are a "aww, do I have to?" situation.

Dead Bow, Norn Recurve, Platinum Longbow if it came in a Recurve flavor.

Recurve.

0.40second flight time interrupts = awesome (0.2 seconds under Read the Wind)

Agree but better longbow for Sp Barrage. Flatbow is useless with moving group. Too high arc size

Storm Bow, FTW.

I actually like Hornbows the best though, they are great for Barraging. Shadow Bows, FTW again.

It really depends...


If I want to interrupt, recurve is the obvious choice...
If I want to pin a kiter down, longbow(not flatbow, arc is too large, often gets dodged)
If I want to pull, Flatbow, since normally mobs you pull don't try to dodge your arrows.

Hornbow is ok to switch to for a spike, but other than that, IMO, it sucks.

I actually like the Asuran line of bows with my norn ranger armor. My bows consist of:

Recurve - Asuran.
Longbow - Maplewood Longbow
Hornbow - Grinning Dragon

Normally I'm on my recurve or longbow but I do use my hornbow at times in PvE depending if I'm using a build that uses bow skills to do the damage.
