Default Best bow type?

I have no evidence but it appears that bows fire at different speeds, have different ranges, etc.. Is the damage listed on a bow just the dmg? Does it take into account the bow's speed?
In theory, if you can afford to be a bit closer to your target, is short bow the best type of bow?

Would love to hear other people experiences with this, or if there is a parser for GW to substaniate my theories..

Wow, this exceeded what I could have expected! (now bookmarked)
It looks like you are putting in a ton of work quantifying the magic numbers that make this game work. Let me know via email or PM if you'd like help on your project!

Thanks for the detailed reply
