On the investigation missions that give me a group of archers to kill, I've had SOME luck with throwing knives, but it seems if I come any closer than TEN MILES to one of these archers, they insta-detect me, even when their backs are turned. Just now, I was trying to crawl along the edge of a building to get to a spot where I could have a shot at tossing a dagger, my hand.. my.. hand... was briefly exposed in a gap on the wall, and the super-archer spotted me WITH THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! How....? Just... how do I deal with this apart from a permanent rage-quit?

I hope you have solved it by now. :) In case it's useful for someone else, I've noticed that in some of the cities with very populated roofs, you can be spotted by someone other than the target archers, resulting in Altaïr getting exposed. In those cases, it's better to approach them from another side or wait some seconds to become unseen again.
Sadly, the only option to kill these archers are throwing knives.

Throwing Knives could kill the Archer while they still yell "Kill Him!", and that would still count as stealth kill if they hit them quick enough.

Stay away from the ground level, cause archers killed by throwing knives are very often fall onto the ground level or get spotted when killed by guards on the ground level. Try navigating the rooftops back to the informer
