    they seem to be capped at about 30.

    playtesting I noticed that sophias flight (range 150) had no greater reach than all other bows, even short bows (range 75).

    even some throwing weapons reach as far:
    Dwarven Thrower (30),
    Glorious Appleheart (30)

    Ranged weaponry is limited to the sight range of your characters, ie. just a hair above 30 yards or so. All bows and slings get the maximum, some others (including Flying Death) get 30 yards, darts weigh in at 20 yards and most throwing axes/hammers at 10.

    Kinda takes the edge out of bows but on the other hand, you'd be shooting straight across most map screens with a range of 150 yards. :)
