Yew shortbow (u) is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 1 recipe for it.
You can make it yourself with 65 Fletching from Yew logs. Each one made gives 67.5 Fletching XP.
It is a material in 1 recipe: Yew shortbow (65 Fletching). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 240 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch nets about 60 coins.
