📋 About This Mod
I loved the concept of the Marksman Velocity mod, but I thought it would be better (and would make more sense) if all the arrows went the same speed. So I made this real fast. Comes in 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%, 225%, and 250% speed varieties. Remember, only enable one of them. Works with mods that increase bow/arrow damage, and the like. v1. 1: Now compatible with most mods. More speed varieties added.
Faster Arrows is a simple gameplay mod that increases arrow speed for all bows, offering six speed variants from 125% to 250%. It was created as an alternative to Marksman Velocity, aiming for consistent arrow speeds. With 2,200 endorsements and 55,777 downloads, it remains a popular choice for archery enthusiasts, though it hasn't been updated since 2008.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,200 endorsements and over 55,000 downloads.
- Gives you six speed choices so you can dial in exactly how fast you want arrows to fly.
- Makes archery feel more realistic and satisfying, especially for long-range shots.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — likely outdated and may not work with current game versions or mod setups.
- No documentation or install instructions provided by the author.

For archery-focused players who want faster projectiles without overhauling combat. If you're playing an older version of the game and enjoy tweaking mechanics, this is a lightweight option. Skip if you're on a modern setup or want more comprehensive archery changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2008, check if your game version is compatible before installing.
- Try the 150% or 175% variants first to get a feel for the speed increase without making arrows too hard to track.
- If you're using a mod manager, manually place the files in your Data folder as this mod predates most modern mod managers.
