Gesen bow is a short bow. the elven bow(the +3 one you find in Nalias keep? or was it in the planar sphere?)is a long bow.
My Elven Archer got 5 points into longbows...what would suit him best?

the gesen bow hits creatures that have huge spell and weapon immunities with ease, and i used it for quite a while just to prevent casters from casting.....

 Hey - same as me - elven Archer w/ 5 points into LongBow...I'm using the Elven Court Bow - since I have no proficiency in short bow, I'd be pretty feeble with a short bow, no matter how good it is. With Long Bow I'm getting off 4 powerful shots a round (just about as fast as Legolas in that scene in LOTR/FOTR!), I couldn't fire that many arrows with short bow - not without the proficiency points. Also consider the damage bonuses I'm getting with grandmaster proficiency - no bonus if I use the Gesen bow. The huge drawback with longbow is that you have to carry so many arrows around. The Gesen shortbow and Tansheron's shortbow generate their own arrows. If I had wanted to be more powerful, I might have chosen shortbow, BUT I already had experienced a shortbow expert (Mazzy) when I was a cleric, I wanted to try something different... |

By lvl 18 or so you should have enough proficiency points to GM in both Short and Long bows

An archer would do better with the Tuigan (sp?)short bow. The extra attack is great. Then you could also use the Gesen when you need +4.
