Compound bows.

They are harder to draw back.(Says the man who has done it about 3 times.)

There was some Turkish prince who used a re-curved compound bow to achieve something like a 1/2 mile shot. Probably not very accurate, but a volley into an oncoming cavalry charge would have an effect. (Eg. Agincourt)
