Accuracy isn't all about range you know.

But we have both, and most people are going to be using rifles.
Well, at the current era, the general belief was that rifles where an inferior breed of weapon. Sure we can say now that rifles where better and all that, but at the time most generals relied on muskets, with rifles only going to a few choice Sharpshooter units like the British 95th.
.....You do know that Muskets and Rifles are two totally different types of gun, right?
Musket man maybe able to outrange a longbow man, but they are inaccurate, and slow to reload, as well as causing a lot of smoke and a chance of blowing the gunner up. Rifles, are better than bows in most respects, but are only issued to about one in fifty people in the current era. So, while a one vs one in an open plain might not work well, but a hundred vs a hundred would be against the musketeer's favour, since a bowman can loose about three arrows to a single musket ball.

Well, bows DO have a much higher rate of fire than muskets, and nobody really bothers to wear armor because of muskets, so bows might actually be somewhat effective. Until the enemy catches on and gives everyone armor. Then you lose.
Longbows can punch right though a suit of platemail, with a broadhead arrow, or at very least break the bones of the guy behind it and make it impossible to control the recoil of the musket.

I would have gone for pure diamond coated in platinum.
Yea. They use Bows and other string-based projectile weaponry rather than powder weaponry. So while they are good at what they do, and the bows are well made, they don't have any muskets or rifles or anything like that.
