Hi, im a R/N and just wondering which one of these 2 bows is better?

I would go for the 4:1 +5 always
But if you have another 5k to spare then you can buy a Grip of Defense +5 and buy the 5:1

I'd pick the composite bow, because the flatbow arcs like rainbow.

i think you have those backwards. in my expierences with a ranger, the composite arch and the flatbow shoots flatter.

Then you have mislabeled your bows...

Flatbow= high arc

I'd pick the flatbow, everytime. I pretty much always use a flatbow. The 5:1 is a sweet string, the flatbow fires faster (2 seconds rather than 2.4) and the higher arc is easily compensated for with Read the Wind or Favourable Winds.

ok, thanks for the help, now from your opinion how much would you say the bow on the right is worth?

post that picture in the etc section of the trade forum, and you'll get a quicker and more accurate pricing than you will here...
