Archery question... if a character were using a short-bow and fired it sideways, as one would on horseback, would the standard range penalties apply, since it wouldn't be relying nearly as much on the arc, and would fly more like a crossbow bolt (I realise there are some pretty big differences still), anyway I just got to thinking about mounted archers (gotta love the mongol hordes) and how they typically fired their recurved short-bows...
