Str, Tactics, and Anatomy all add to archery damage (and weapon types/magic/etc obviously). The archery skill is only your accuracy. One thing to note that makes archery different from the other skills, is that magical bows with "tactics" modifiers don't modify tactics (damage), rather, they modify the archery skill itself making the bows more accurate.

he double posted this and you responded to the other one >_< lol so i will repeat what i said before
* Strength - affects hit points, damage output, and how many stones (weight) you can hold
* Dexterity - affects stamina and swing speed (please note that i have tested from 25-120 on heavy xbow and it makes hardly any difference on the delay. I have also test cross bow and short bows and its meh )
* Intelligence - affects mana and mana regeneration rate

Archery skill effects your chance to land a hit like any other melee skill so having +23.3 on a magic weapon is with out argument the best stat mod to have, seeing how you cant shoot while moving and its easy to avoid a shot you most definitely don't want to miss when you do land a shot.

tactics effects damage (all thought i have had arguments that it does not i have again tested this and it does ) see here http://wiki.uosecondage.com/Tactics
anatomy as well is desired stat for a archer for additional damage
