I noticed this flaw in the original 3.5 rules and see it has been carried over here into the Pathfinder rules. Archery is getting blunt arrows because of a skill check rule that I think is penalized a bit to harshly. Now the rules state a longbow has a standard maximum distance of 1000' and for this range you take a -20 to hit penalty that makes sense but for that very same distance you take a -100 penalty on your Perception check. I would say this too makes sense if we were talking about trees, bushes, low cavern ceilings or such obstructions but this penalty is already enforced for a clear sunny day across a wide open field. I hope a correction to this rule can be found so that Robin Hood can once again become the archer of legendary ranged accuracy and that archery can once again have broadheads instead of blunt arrows.
