Bows have a base APR of 2.

Specialising in a weapon grants +1/2 APR

Fighters/Rangers/Paladins gain +1/2 to their APR at levels 7 and 13

Advancing to Grandmastery grants +1.5 attacks to the base value.

So, a level 9-10 fighter equipped with a missile weapon can attack a max of 3 times per round. Before the severed hand though, you can lay you hands on the Messenger of Sseth near the end of dragons eye, granting a base APR of 3, so if one of your fighers is using this bow, he/she will attack 4 times per round (assuming ** or a max of *** in bows).

If you have a ranger wielding a single handed weapon with no shield in the offhand, he/she will get +1 APR.

There are a few more weapons that grant bonuses to APR, but you won't have found these before the Severed Hand. To name a few:
Ring of Reckless Action
Valiant (+2 scimitar)
Long Bow +4: Hammer
Long Bow +3: Repeater
Repeating Heavy Crossbow
Reinforced Heavy Crossbow

You say that one of your fighters has ** in missile and ***** in a melee weapon. When using a melee weapon they will have a base APR of 1, +1.5 from Grandmastery, and +1/2 from level 7 giving a maximum of 3 APR at level 9 or 10. If they have 4 and are not using any equipment/weapons that boost APR, then you have a bug (a rather cool one at that!)
