It seems like the range of projectiles is calculated from where the shooter is at the moment, not from where the shooter was when he fired. So you can hit something that is one step outside your range by shooting and then stepping forward, while the arrow is still in flight.

I've literally no idea how old this bug is, but it is OLD. Fun stuff for hunting down the "smart" AIs that run away after you hit them too hard.
