There are reliable sources stating that Mongolian archers could routinely hit targets over 500 meters away. To put that in perspective, the gun that the United States Army uses today has a maximum deadly range of about 600 meters, with a reliable kill range of about half that. Meaning technically, at distances over 250 meters, a Mongolian archer would pose more of a threat to you than a US Marine. -- source link
