It shurely wasn't my intention to offend you.
In fact, I think your supposed changes will go a long way to make the missile weapons more realistic.
What they are not, as Frank claims, in the standard game.

And my suggestions wheren't really that much thought-out, but just some numbers I threw into the dicussion.
Some more numbers (must most likely be tweaked somewhat) and intended use of the weapon .. :
Longbow 45 (ballistical archery, even on rear echolons)
Comp bow 35 (ballistical archery on distant targets, or over front troops which are close by)
Shortbow 27 (harrasing fire from the 2nd line into the front of the enemies battle line, or short-ranged direct fire into non-missile troops)
Crossbow 27 (precision fire against "heavy" targets, NO ballistic firing)

No offense taken. Thanks for the suggestions and historical info! I'll check the bows out on Wikipedia, and maybe some other weapons too.
