You don't get xp from the bow itself, as arrows are the ammo and what do the damage.. so therefor arrows would give more experience.

about level 90, monkfish have better xp and are faster to catch.
In Runescape, You receive 65 Magic XP for every High Alchemy spell that is cast.
Original Answer The magic short bow is better. Dark bows take a long time to get xp with, but hit higher. Improved Answer by IR o IF L The MSB (Magic Short Bow) is one of the best, if not the best, range training devices. It deals an accurate blow, and usually does a good amount of damage with iron+ arrows. The speed of this bow, compined with the accuracy, makes it the best training device for range [other than Chinchompas] in RuneScape. The DB (Dark Bow) is actually one of the slower range training weapons. It may deceive you by its high hits, but the fact that it just doesn't hit those high hits often enough ruins it. It attacks a little bit slower than a longbow, although it shoots two arrows. Very costly, which is also a downside. DB shoots 2 arrows - MSB shoots 1 On average, you will shoot 2.2 arrows from the MSB every 2 arrows you shoot from the DB, just because of the sheer speed of the MSB

Every skill in Runescape needs the same amount of xp to get to lvl 99. The xp until lvl 99 in ANY skill (including Range) is:Approximate: 13,000,000Exact: 13,034,431So basically 13mil xp. ;)
