Are nearly all archers useless ?

"Each point to this skill (up to four plus power-draw requirement of the bow) increases bow damage by 14%."
I'd say it's pretty clear...

Hardly any bows in antive use PD requirement 7 do they?

Not sure why you mention 7 PD in particular... but masterwork Khergit, Strong and Long bows have PD requirement 7, masterwork War Bow has PD requirement 8.

Prolly better for the suggestion thread but since this is about bows anyways, here goes. Make a KO npc upgrade weps as well as armors. Mettenheim would be friendly lore wise for this? Imagine a masterwork Duskfall or rune bow... would need PD 11 to even equip it

Oh, yeah. I checked the wiki there it makes sense. 84% exra damage is max.
Well i read it as "
Each point to this skill (up to four PLUS, as in +4) not the PLUS PD requirement of the bow ".

So that plus reffered to the power draw i see yeah, my bad. Thought it referred to just +4, AFTER the Pd was requirement was reached.
I´d had written it like "Each point to this skill increases bow damage by 14% including the required PD level of the bow up to a maximum of +4 levels above the PD requirement.

I just read it wrong in my head haha. Oh well it was pretty easy to misunderstand it seems for me, when you don´t read it properly. Anyway thanks for explaining  Learn something new everyday.
