Not to second guess Thels,whom I know to be an expert on the rules, but in 3E, druids could not use short-bows, even if they were profficient in their use, as elves are. I re-read the 3.5E rules, and they seem the same to me. I just wonder if you guys have a different interpretation.

I'm no expert, I make errors too.
But afaik, the druid just ain't proficient with the bow. In 3.5, the druid is not allowed to wear metal armor or shields, but he is allowed to wield any weapon. Astatia receives the bow proficiency as an elf for free.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (link to SRD page or 3.5 PHB page number included would be nice).

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Druids are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with wild shape (see below). Druids are proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded, leather, or hide armor. (A druid may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. See the ironwood spell description.) Druids are proficient with shields (except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones.
A druid who wears prohibited armor or carries a prohibited shield is unable to cast druid spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like class abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.
