Wind Resistance - How well your archers deals against winds
Speed - How fast can your archer aim and shot his arrow accurately
Accuracy - How well your archer aims
Strength - How well your archer handles the bow's weight

Bow Weight - Heavier means faster arrows and thus more accurate and more wind resistant although it might overwhelm archers with low strength.
