Archery can be traced back to nearly 8 or 9000 BC.  The word "archer" came from a Naval term when archers were required to shoot at other ships.  They would have to shoot high into the air, thus 'arching' the arrow so it would get over the gunwales to hit the opposing soldiers.  

1: What poundage of  draw weight was average for these archers?
2: What was the average, stress average, accurate range for these men to hit accurately?

No cheating, now.  See how close you get on educated guesses.
