Missile combat must be one of the hottest contested issues in the list (I still haven't made my mind up). If you have access to the eGroups website, try searching for 'missile' or 'archery' on the hwrules page.
Personally, I like simple contests against single targets (as you say), lending AP to friends when shooting at a melee, but extended contests if the target is trying to close on me (my archery vs. his speed - if I run out of AP, he got me, if he runs out, I got him).
