The long bow is a decent weapon in warband, mired only because it has a slower fire rate than other bows and its inability to properly use on horseback. Statistically speaking, it does more damage than some other bow variants (because of its need for many points in power draw) over longer ranges but is rather ineffective at close ranges due to it being a slower bow to draw. Khergit bows specifically are designed for mounted combat where as longbows are better for defensive approaches.
