Isn't the elf bonus only for LONG bows?

Long swords and long bow only. Bear in mind that a high dexterity gives a missile 'to hit' bonus, and Elves (and the Archer/Thief dual especially) will almost certainly have a high Dexterity score. [/QUOTE]Well I don't really see why the choice of making the archer an elf (per Kruchy Frog's post above) is any better than making the archer a halfling. The halfling gets the same DEX, and significantly better saves versus poison and magic. The long bow bonus is only +1, and doesn't help much because you get the Tuigan bow very quickly, and that is much preferable to any long bow even with an extra +1. Not to mention Gessen is IMHO the best bow. The halfling has better CON than the elf but worse STR. But you're an archer for goodness sake - the CON is more useful.
So, I disagree with krunchy frog that the best racial choice for the generic archer, power wise, is the elf.
