bowshot

Stride by stride they drew away from the Pawnees until they finally carried their riders beyond bowshot.

They had stopped a long bowshot beyond the trees, and appeared to be holding a council.

They were still beyond range, but were riding at a sharp angle which would soon bring them within bowshot.

When they finally came within bowshot, they suddenly realized that the village was deserted.

When they were a bowshot from the ravine White Otter turned toward the south.
