📋 About This Mod
Finally managed to extend the archery animation overhaul into the standing archery aswell, hopefully this will make your third person archery experience jitter free, more precise and enjoyable.
While aiming with a bow, the character will now consistently keep facing the same direction while turning or moving in a similar fashion to how they behave with Vanargand sneak archery.
