Scoped Bows SE
The Amazing Bow Sights Mod
- Special Edition -
100% Immersive - 100% Lore-Friendly
Short Description
Scoped Bows SE is a huge weapons mod that adds scoped variants of all bows to the game, designed to be used without crosshair.
It comes with 4 optional tweaks (scroll down for details) that will greatly improve your archery gameplay experience.
This Officially Remastered Special Edition of the mod contains unique textures and additional bonus bows, as well as a ton of little fixes.
Each scoped bow has two scopes. One is designed for quick shots (used when standing), the other one is designed for precise shots (used when sneaking).
All scopes are matching the design of the corresponding bow to keep them lore-friendly.
You are getting 32 Scoped Bows in total.
Scoped bows are seamlessly integrated into the game.
Accordingly to your level scoped bows will randomly appear in the world of skyrim (on npc's, in shop vendor menus or in containers), but you can also craft them yourself if you have the required smithing perks and the corresponding vanilla base bow. Unique bows are already scoped when you find them.
