Bow Skills are Skills available for unlock with use of Shortbows in Dragon's Dogma. These Skills can only be employed by Strider or Assassin Vocations, and are generally based around strengthening arrows with enchants/additional effects or giving the ability to fire multiple shots to increase the inflicted damage per second. Although some Skills on this list have similar names to those on the Longbow Skills list, the two Weapons do not share the same Skill sets with the exception of Loose and Quick-Loose. You can find detailed information on individual Bow Skill on each page linked below.
