Wright..The only request I have at this stage is please (if possible) try
to limit your ranges to effective range (i.e. the range a average person
could expect to hit an non moving target 75% of the time).  My gripes
about the bow ranges had nothing to do with power or even game balance. 
I just truly feel that they are not realistic as far as being able to
accurately hit anything at those distances with pre industrial revolution
technology.
