Sadly, for simplicity reasons, a bow in BG is just a bow. Were it closer to real life, there would be a large variety of bows, useable by different strengths, that added a certain amount of strength damage.

Short bow -> Long Bow -> Composite Longbow
3 bow types require str 3, 6, 18
composite longbow, even though it requires massive strength, only does +1 damage and same THAC0 bonus as the long bow. I agree, there should be more variety... 6 -> 18 is a rather large jump for a simple +1 dam.
Maybe str requirement for a CLB should be reduced to say, 15 ?
