The force of the arrow is (pretty much) directly proportional to how far back you can pull the bow string (Hook's law). If your arms are short you can't pull the bowstring back so far, no matter how strong you are.Need to design a bugbear bow, that takes advantage of their disproportionately long arms.It's reasonable, and historically accurate, to treat an unstrung longbow as a quarterstaff. In which case it no longer has the ammunition, heavy, or two handed traits or the martial ranged weapon type. It does have the versatile trait and the simple melee weapon type. It also becomes a valid target for the Shillelagh spell.</blockquote>
