Is It Feasible to Balance a Civilisation Bonus for Free Archer Attack Upgrades?

I think it would be fine if it was just
* Fletching is free.
rather than all 3 upgrades.
I think it could be further balanced by not giving the civ xbows (thus it benefits feudal archer rushs, skirms, cav archers, possibly a UU, and galleys)
The problem here is that an archer/xbow play usually relies on a snowballing mass.
If you get to snowball even better, you can’t really have a good eco bonus before then.
Without a good eco, you will have trouble getting that dangerous mass anyway.
I can totally see it work on a civ with very few bonuses in Dark/Feudal.
Btw, I think free Bodkin in Castle Age is a better bonus than free Bracer in Imp.
IF that’s true, then we only really need to balance for Castle Age and Imp will probably work out anyway.
Free Fletching is right out, that can’t be a thing.
Maybe it’s researched instantly but you’ve to pay the resources.
Like loom for goths.
Imagine that with the current 18/19pop team game double range build 🤮
I think it’s balance-able, as long as the Civ has no Eco bonus.
