Harry Drake set his record (1854m) in the 70's   Groves' record is in compound bow use, as you can see here. The figure (1222m) is accurate for Don Brown's record from the 80's, with an unlimited pull recurve bow. <a href="http://www.usaarcheryrecords.org/FlightPages/2007/worldrecords07.htm" target="_blank">USA Archery Records: Flight World Records 2007</a> Here is a relatively up-to-date (2007) list of flight archery records. Flight archery, as you can already guess, is the sport of seeing who can shoot furthest.   As you can see, the unlimited pull English Longbow (the bow we would typically see in the D&D setting) record is 339.65m, set in 2007. Towards the middle of the page, you can see Harry Drake's footbow records as well. <a href="http://www.usaarcheryrecords.org/FlightPages/2009/2009%20World%20Regular%20Flight%20Records.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.usaarcheryrecords.org/FlightPages/2009/2009 World Regular Flight Records.pdf</a> is a harder to read, but more up to date, list of records. They haven't changed much.</blockquote>
