As a person involved in the debate in question, I agree completely.

The net/net of all that discussion seems to be that, if anything, bow damage is flatter than the GURPS ST tables make it out, but at the ST10-14 level for a longbow, you're basically in the right place (1d-1 to 1d+2 impaling damage).
