Couple of hundred yards
up to a half mile
Accurately- about 25 yards.
some shoot far and some dont so they all dont shoot the same length
No and no. Specifically, arrows for bows are longer and more flexible as a slight flex can improve an arrow's flight, but crossbows would be too powerful and break the arrow. Crossbow bolts/quarrels are far too short to be used correctly in a bow, as a real archer would never partially draw the bow to shoot an arrow, yet a bolt would not be long enough for the archer to draw back to his or her anchor point (that same place on their face they always draw back to, to make shots powerful and consistent).
A 60 pound draw weight compound bow can typically shoot arrows at speeds around 300 feet per second. Depending on the arrow weight and other factors, it can have an effective range of up to 50-70 yards for target shooting and about 30-40 yards for hunting.
Coupld of hundred meters or so
