Hello!
So, I wanted to add the Composite Longbow and the Composite Shortbow to my games, but I'm finding it a little difficult to convert it over from when I use to play until now. While looking around, I found that the last edition to have it was 3.5, but I don't have the books for it. There are a few things running through my mind on this, but basically, I want to bring these over because I play with a few that want to be able to use them again. I was thinking of just using the short and longbow already there, but reading around, a lot of people either say it really doesn't work, or that it works too well and now I'm confused. What I want to know is:

What I want to know is:
- Why did they ever get rid of it from 3.5?
- Has anyone ever converted it from older editions with any success?
- Is there a mathematical equation or anything that I could use on older editions to convert weapons, much like monsters?
- Would having these in the game take away from ranged classes in some way and is that the reason they are gone?
