Longbows were fairly efficient, but apart from that, very few kinds of arrows could penetrate good armor enough to kill the opponent. The reason bows were popular was because it was cheap and long-range weapon.

Also the further you shoot with a bow, the less damage the arrow does, because it loses speed. And if they don't want to make a mechanic that gradually lowers the damage as the arrow goes further, I think limiting reach to where the arrows are effective, is pretty good. In rebuttal to the second part, that's why they would shoot in kind of an arc when shooting longer ranges, so that gravity would increase it's velocity.
