As interesting as adding Numenorean bows would be, until we actually get some balance for ranged weapons, I can't see them being useful at all. An elven bow has roughly 2x the DPS while only sacrificing a small amount of "range", and an uruk crossbow has similar DPS while having the advantage of being able to be stored loaded in the inventory, meaning you can have several loaded crossbows, greatly increasing your burst damage. Essentially, the only advantage Numenorean bows would have is their range. Hardly something to be considered "dreaded" especially seeing as it fires rare, uncraftable ammo and is itself uncraftable.
