Common soldiers will have ST of 10 or 11. Elite archers are trickier as Arm ST comes into play but anything less than a virtual PC will not go higher than (probably) a 13, including Arm ST.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to translate.

98# bow is ST 14
128# bow is ST 16
144# bow is ST 17
180# bow is ST 19

Bow draw = 0.5 x ST^2
