Training bow was removed from RuneScape after an update, but still exists in-game for those who had obtained it.

The training bow is a beginner ranged weapon that has been discontinued and is currently unavailable to use unless already owned. It was originally obtained from the ranged combat tutor located in Lumbridge, and later available for purchase from Beefy Bill for 55 coins. The ranged combat tutor now instead recommends getting a free longbow or shortbow from Lowe's shop in Varrock. The item is not dropped upon death.

Training arrows are the only arrows that can be used with this bow. These were also available from Beefy Bill for eight gold a piece, but they too have been discontinued.

A training bow has the same stats as a normal shortbow or longbow. It is recommended to use the regular Shortbow or Longbow, for the use of iron arrows.

This bow was a good option for newer players because both it and the training arrows that it used were free. The ranged combat tutor gave any player a free set consisting of 30 training arrows and a training bow. However, once a set of training bow and arrows had been acquired, the player would have to wait at least 30 minutes before the tutor would give him/her another set. When the 30 minutes have expired, the tutor could have given the player more arrows, but she would only give out another bow if the previous one was lost or destroyed. Some players took advantage of this and would drop one bow then ask for another so that they could get two and keep one in their bank in case they died.

The training bow was removed with the release of Unstable Foundations, the new tutorial, on 17 September 2009, but was re-released on 7 October of the same year.
