What's this 'more substantial' stuff?  The bow+arrow does 1-6
per hit.  Your handy mace does 2d4+1 (3-9).  If you waste
a turn wielding the mace, you've lost some potential points.
Just hold onto that bow and continue pumping.  I find this
very effective.  If of course you have a +2,+2 two-handed sword,
this is another matter.
