📋 About This Mod
I was always annoyed with the default bow drawing sounds. The bow creaks and groans like its gonna break any second. Not anymore, I used my own bow and arrows to record a new set of sounds. You will now hear the arrow sliding against the bow as you draw the string back.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

⚠️ Cons
- Only changes the draw sound, not release or impact sounds

💡 Beginner Tips
