Sometime mistaken for a [[Compound Bow (3.5e Equipment)|Compound Bow]], a three-stringed bow is essentially a [[SRD:Longbow|longbow]] with three-strings. It can be used as a martial weapon as a simple [[SRD:Longbow|longbow]] at a -1 penalty, however a user with the proper exotic weapon proficiency can do something truly stupid:

A proficient user may attempt to fire up to three arrows all at once as part of a single attack, each arrows beyond the first add a -2 penalty top attack on each arrows fired during the attack. Any source of extra damage dice (such as sneak attack), with the exception of enhancement placed on each arrows are only added to the first attack which hit a particular creature. All of the attacks must be made against a single creature, or divided between a number of creatures within 5 ft of each other.

250 gp/100ft range is the cost of a normal three-stringed bow and 400 gp/110ft range is the cost of a composite three-stringed bow (+0 strength).  Effects which apply to longbows (such as [[SRD:Weapon Focus|Weapon Focus]]) also apply to the three-stringed bow.</onlyinclude>
