The magic shieldbow is the second strongest shieldbow that can be fletched. The magic shieldbow requires a Defence level of 50 and Ranged level of 50 or higher to wield. It has similar stats and uses as the magic composite bow, but requires 50 defence and has a lower attack range.

Like all shieldbows and unlike most other weapons, it incorporates a shield inseparably. Therefore, it provides armour and life point bonuses, and counts as a shield for Defence abilities, such as Rejuvenate. It has an attack range of 8.

With level 45 Dungeoneering and 10,000 tokens, a shieldbow sight can be purchased and attached to create a magic shieldbow (sighted), raising its bonuses to those of a level 55 weapon, but it loses the special attack. This also increases the wielding requirements to 55 Ranged and Defence.

Trivia

• The magic shieldbow was originally a members-only weapon, but it was made available to free players after the Evolution of Combat.
• Though the shield appears in the front of the bow when the player is wielding it, the shield will turn to the side when it is on the player's back.
• The shieldbow is the equivalent to a longbow, now discontinued outside of Daemonheim.
