Overall I tried to make archery in this game feel a bit less "realistic" and a bit more "Legolas."
Note: the base game's bow and arrows have not been changed, only my 3 bows and arrow sets were added.By Kevin Greenleaf

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Archery feels snappy and fluid—you'll be firing off shots like a movie elf, not a real medieval archer.
- Cut-through arrows are a game-changer for crowd control; you can line up multiple kills with one shot.
- Three damage sets mean you can dial in the power level to match your preferred difficulty or playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- The 'less realistic' approach may break immersion for players who prefer grounded combat.
- Faster shooting and cut-through arrows can make the game significantly easier, potentially trivializing archery-focused battles.
- As a mod that alters core combat mechanics, it may conflict with other combat overhauls or balance mods.
This is for players who want to feel like a superhero archer, mowing down enemies with rapid-fire shots and piercing arrows. It's also great for those who find vanilla archery too slow or underpowered and want a more cinematic, action-packed experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Experiment with the three damage sets to find the one that feels right for your game difficulty—start with the lowest if you're new to modded combat.
- Use cut-through arrows to your advantage by aiming at tightly packed enemy groups, especially in siege defense or cavalry charges.
- Pair this mod with a horse archery build to fully exploit the fast nocking and shooting on horseback.
