And ST 11+ is pretty standard for professional soldiers throughout history. Not because they need it for fighting, but because soldiers have always had to carry a lot of heavy gear. That won't change no matter what weapons we stipulate. Quote:

Still, I will run some numbers for arrows from 50-100g and impact velocities from 45 to 90m/s to get a range for things. I will assume 8 to 12mm cross sections, just for fun.

Whether that fits reality or not is what I'm trying to figure out with this thread. I do, however, recall composite bows achieving a higher maximum range than yew longbows of the same draw weight. I've at least read that in a few places.

I'm fine with 2d-1 as a realistic damage from an English warbow. But what's the wound channel modifier? The same as your earlier calculation or more? Less?

If necessary, answer seperately for crossbow self-bows, composite crossbows and steel crossbows.
