Rated poor. Shot roe with heart/lung it ran for 200 metres. Red deer the same long tracking from heart lung shot at below 10 metres. I had to go for neck/spine shots for instant drops that does work well enough also on longer distances.

Very hard to aim and VERY weak. At archery addition range. Shot whietail decoy at 10 m with a perfect broadside, only to punch one lung. There are much better things to spend your money on UNLESS you prefer to track wounded animals for a long time :lol: Just not a favorite by any means

I have to say that since the aiming bug (it is bug, right?) and after a bit of struggle and fight, I am totally in love with the longbow and I don't want devs to fix the aiming thing. Now it is so much easier to shoot, and for the first time in the game it is possible to shoot intuitively. I am ignoring the arrow and just let it fly... My accuracy increased significantly. I can not say how good it is now.

Rated average first time, now I would hit the Excellent without hesitation ;)

Been practicing at range and MUCH better now. Around 60% of my shots are decent and will land a kill. Well for the other ones.......

can't believe i didn't vote for that gem. it's been a while i didn't get in there, thus i didn't test latest weapons. but if i had to keep only only weapon, that would be that one. it's not the weapon i use the most, but it's definitely the weapon i'd keep if i was forced to keep only one thing. i could go naked, but not without my longbow :D . but keep in mind it's short range weapon
