Thats why I did not go into the whole iron vs bronze bit because obviously bronze is inferior. I assumed they would have been matched in materials available.

And if the vikings had bows, they're not the English Longbows I think you are thinking about. Most of them were shortbows with a negligible range. As said before they use spears more often.
