FE12 (none of them are particularly great, but being able to hold a forged iron/steel bow is all they need to do to 1shot wyverns), definitely one of the highs for early bows in the series
FE14CQ you have Niles who is all around a decent unit that gets bumped up to good by being your capture bot
FE15 earlygame archers are mediocre but still alright, they become great later on once you get forged killers/hunters volley(or a looped DF into archer line)
Leon is actually just broken if you know what you're doing with peddlers/speed fountains though
FE16 Bernie is arguably the greatest earlygame archer in the series due to that personal, and after a few chapters vengeance access(and battalion wrath later). Ignatz having hit+20 and good rallies make him very solid.
Ashe is just piss curved shot fodder until the other units just class into archer and do his job but better in every way.
Engage Etie is OK for exactly one map(chapter 3) and then already stops 1shotting pegasi in chapter 4 by a few hp
Due to Engage's exp curve and lacklusters bases/growths she seriously struggles to keep up due to a lack of EP unless you favor her with mercurius/micaiah exp/etc.
At least she has abs
