Use a long?
I see nothing wrong with working with the enormous numbers, there's many ways to still deal with them and get an accurate result.
I agree though, however confusing a normal distribution would be more accurate, and probably easier.
strafe+crit = 16 possiblities, all with different probabilities and results. It just flat out sucks.
Then again, you could always just do it arrow-by-arrow, then round up to the nearest 4th arrow, so if a 1 hit was 5 arrows, you'd know it would be a 2 hit with strafe.
