Well, from my own tests, all bows are bugged. Short and long. Except for the ones that fire phantom arrows. I do not think it is the bow being bugged so much as it could be the arrows, I still have not figured out exactly what is going on, but, there is something most peculiar about bows in general as I have stated in another thread.
As for using missle weapons on Kensais, DON'T! Once my Halfling hit about level 13 or so, maybe 14 or 15, the game became sickningly easy. To easy. It got boring. Kai shot and Fire Tooth ended fights with little or no effort on my part. When you add strength bonuses, etc, it gets crazy. All at no danger to the Kensai, which is important considering how lightly armored he (or she) is. Combine high rate of fire, and the fact my super low speed factor would allow me to plug most mages before they even got their protection up, there was simply no challenge left in the game.
Crossbows are king for damage. Armed with the Giant Hair Crossbow or the Heavy Crossbow of Searing, any Archer or Fighter with a few stars in crossbows can make short work of most anything.
And don't forget darts. They are quite nasty, some of them, and, can be quite useful for many fights if used properly. Seeing a Blade in Offensive spin hurling Darts of Stunning or Wounding is actually quite entertaining really, something that everybody should try just once.
