Note that the Steady Hand perk affects neither the speed of the arrow, nor the enemy, so lead your target the same as if time was not slowed.

If the target is moving, aim where they are going to be, as the arrow is a rather slow projectile. To compensate, you should aim just below the intended target in order to hit it. When shooting an arrow, you will discover that arrows have significant 'loft', or upwards movement, particularly at medium ranges See Notes. The trajectory and speed of arrows are independent of a character's skill level in Archery only damage increases with skill level.

Drawn bows can be cancelled by pressing the ' Sheath Weapon ' button. A bow will not deal its normal maximum amount of damage until finished being fully drawn.Īrrows that are misfired accidentally before firing the bow result in a damage penalty. Arrow damage is the sum total of the quality and material of the bow and the arrow being used, as well as the bow's draw length. The greater the skill, the more deadly the shot.
