They weren't even composite bows, but simple stick bows, but they WERE Strength bows as far as how the game engine handles these things. Archers pressed the bow away instead of drawing the string, because the draw weight of the bows were so high. They had draw weights up to 150 pounds, and some think higher!
<p><a href="https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-range-of-the-longbow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Reference</a></p>
<p>Muskets had about 1/3 that range. "Muskets of the 16th–19th centuries were accurate enough to hit a target of 50 centimetres in diameter at a distance of 100 metres."</p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musket" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reference</a></p>
<p>Musketmen didn't beat archers with range or accuracy. They beat them with sheer numbers. Proper use of a Welsh longbow took years of training. Muskets were only slightly more complicated to use than crossbows, and anybody can use a crossbow!</p>
<p>There's a reason Archers dominated in warfare since the Egyptian chariot archers (well, until the newer tech made expertise less important). And the Welsh longbowman was the king of foot archery units.</p>
<p>Sorry, archery history is a minor interest. I always hate it when people think early firearms were more accurate or had better range than a good bow. They simply did not. It wasn't even close. Firearms are just so much easier to use. Still true today, when the firearm technology has made them more accurate and with better range than even the best archery equipment can be. But that's with modern technology.
<br />
</blockquote><p>I am well aware that muskets are not at all accurate. You can't expect much from a smoothbore and a round ball. I said <b>rifle</b> since he mentioned lever action weapons (while there are lever action shotguns, we aren't talking shotguns).
<p>You might learn some firearm history to match the archery history. Once rifled weapons became standard on the battlefield (the American Civil War was the first big event where the Minie ball saw use) a great slaughter ensued since muzzle loaders which were only really accurate to 50 yards suddenly became accurate to 250 (as much as 500 by the best) because of rifling and the tactics did not change.</p>hustonj wrote:drbuzzard wrote:Also, the range increment for a rifle is really rather silly. 80 feet for a rifle when bows are appreciably higher (100) is simply stupid.

<p>Of course summoning and binding an elder beer elemental is no small thing. The lot of the wizard council packed into their rusty pickup truck, with the most moderately inebriated driving and the others yeehawing from the bed. Off to the local stop'n'rob they tore to pick up their material component. </p>
<p>In short order they arrived back with a massive stack of PBR cases which they unloaded around a large bonfire (prepped by their apprentices) since no drunken magic can be done without an out of control blaze. </p>
<p>With all preparation complete, the wizards started, each shotgunning a beer by puncturing the base while popping the tab for the fastest chug possible. Each completed beer was followed by a voluminous belch. </p>
<p>This procedure appeared to be utterly random, as the pointy eared rednecks just went through the PBR as fast as they could grab it, but as it went on they appeared to come into synch. With the chugging and burps coming into a rhythm. </p>
<p>The last round of PBRs was grabbed, chugged and a thunderous beclh erupted from the council. With that the uptapped keg ruptured and a huge golden humanoid shaped figure with golden translucent body and fizzy white capped head appeared. </p>
<p><b>"Hey yinz! Whatcha need?"</b></p>
<p>Then one of the boring normal wizards did some stuff and summoned an alder earth elemental as well. </p>
<p>Between the two elementals, and some instruction from the queen, a hole is opened into the depths of Golarion, the sides fizzing with fresh brewskis. </p>
<p>The Queen, in her hippo like majesty looks at your party <b>"Well, what're yinz waitin fer? Git yinz a going!"</b></p>Upon careful deliberation between saving the world in a quick and efficient fashion, and a beer slide to the bowels of Golarion, the trailer trash wizards make the obvious choice- beer slide.
Of course summoning and binding an elder beer elemental is no small thing. The lot of the wizard council packed into their rusty pickup truck, with the most moderately inebriated driving and the others yeehawing from the bed. Off to the local stop'n'rob they tore to pick up their material component.
