Because we were discussing English yeoman archers, I thought I'd share a template from my fantasy setting. This is not an English archer, but with minimal modifications, he'd be pretty close to my view of them.

Dalelands yeoman archer (113 CPs)

An enthusiastic archer who practises daily. He fights with his militia when his Dale is threathened, but is not a professional soldier. Nevertheless, the fact he can draw a great warbow make him a valued member of any militia force. Woodcraft skills have been gained while hunting.
