Snaggles PM'ed me with a similar question about archery, but more specifically about BFG. I'll post my initial findings reply here:

If it is the melee formula then:
[Max Damage] = ([Mod] x [Weapon Damage]) + [Main Hand Bonus] (rounded down)
[Mod] is calculated as: ([Offense Skill] + [STR]) / 100
Do you know if Mod uses offense or archery?
If I guesstimate (210 + 215)/4 = 4.25 for my Mod @54
Then 12dmg bow, 5dmg arrow and an argent protector so 25dmg bonus
(4.25 x 17) + 25 = 97 max hit.
I'd have to double check but I'm not sure i've ever seen a 97dmg bow hit ever, highest has been mid 60s without crit but I'd have to reconfirm, haven't used bow extensively the last few levels. Am I missing something?
Using dext (110ish) instead of str gives a 80 max hit, probably much closer to the truth but a zillion people (one guy from my research?) reported bows use str so I don't know about that.
