Reflex bow: th+3
Weapon master +2
Ver Fine Arrows: +2
Totalling 1d+9 imp with and average damage of 12.5

Weapon master is not realistic, he can't have it, very fine arrows aren't too, make it fine arrows, this reduces it to 1d+6, with still is very high.
You could create some house-rules like I did.
Houserule #1-Strongbow is forbidden, an archer could buy special exercices(arm ST) and buy up to +2 or +3 ST tought.
Houserule#2-Every bow/crossbow have damage reduced by one.
Houserule#3-If a bow/crossbow have a ST x2 or more than Min ST, +50% weight and cost, Min STx3 or more, double it.
Houserule#4-This one don't change damage, but all bows have Acc2, and 1/2 is half the max range.
With this house rules, his damage will be reduced by 1d+4, very high still, but still manageable.
Or you could use the House Rules from pyramid - Low Tech.
