A simple fix for the range of archers is to double the range of bows, which I want badly!

As for a barrage of arrows: that'd be hard to do and mostly in efficient, considering each NPC and mob in MC takes time before you can hit it again. It's stupid but its core MC coding, blame Mojang. Doing an instantaneous barrage/arrow storm would just register one or two hits, making the concept obsolete. That's why if you have a bunch of archers most arrows will "bounce" off the target.
