In an urban combat situation, most firefights occur at ranges of less
than 30m. Unless your target is a group of bikers, thundering towards
you across a salt-lake being able to shoot out that far with a bow is
pretty useless, IMHO.
Also remember, as pointed out by someone early, that in ye olde days, a
group of bowmen would use arched fire at long ranges to rain down a sheet
of arrows on the approaching enemy. Hoping to take down targets of
opportunity. [God this grammar is bad, the grammar checker would spit
chips... if I had one :)]
