The reason why they shoot further is b/c of their missile speeds. The faster they travel, the less drop. The faster they travel, the more damage they do. Because damage speed calculation for missiles is the square of the missile speed. But personally, I don't even use bows anymore. I don't even
fight anymore. I just stand there and watch.

Until you get to 35th level or something and have Power Draw 7, is there any point in getting the stronger bows? Is the loss of accuracy worth the extra damage or not? PD 4 with a short bow will often kill a looter in one shot, but only does a few points to an armoured enemy.
Headshot them. Always effective.
