📋 About This Mod

I cannot believe this has made the top 10 in the sound category! just proves such a small tweak can make a big difference :) thanks for all the endorsements!! Hey all, Just made a little Tweak for those that are looking for a realistic bow shoot sound and not some hollywood rubbish! The sounds were recorded directly from youtube video showcasting the old english lonbow (no modern bows) and in my opinion, is the best bow shoot sound on the nexus. Endorse, comment and Enjoy! :)
