My archer is too slow! How do I make him as effective as mle fighters?
Historically, archers never engaged enemies the same way swordfighters did. This was exactly because, realistically, archers can’t shoot as frequently as one can swing a sword. GURPS tries to handle things realistically, most of the time. If you want a Legolas-style archer, build it the way you build other non-realistic characters: take either Innate Attack with modifiers, or the Heroic Archer advantage from the upcoming MA. As a last resort, load up on Fast-Draw (Arrow) and don’t aim in combat (which doesn’t net good results unless you have very high skill though).
