Bows on foot 24cm
Bows on horseback, slings 16cm
Javelins 8cm
I have discussed these distances in previous posts, for example here, and have made two major changes in my adaptation of the rules.
The first is that slings were not outranged by infantry archers, and so I give them the same range as bows on foot, ie 24cm.
But I have also upped the range of bows on horseback to 20cm, and have decided that chariot archers should come under this category (Thomas's rules leave the question open).
