ok so in the game we already have hunting bows, there hard to aim with and its hard to be acurate. so what if there was a combat bow or a compact bow that had an attachmet slot on it?
so that way you could add a laser pointer to the bow.
Pros:
-better/more acurate aiming
Cons:
-maybe a little TOO acurate
* but the bow also has the travel speed of the arrow
what do you think?
I need a silencer on my bow.
I could get behind this. Tend to use bows when I'm hunting - or killing zombies and this can only add to player choice.
I think the aiming is fine, other bows would be made out of harder material, or more material and be quicker/do more damage, rather than making them easy to aim.
yeah i reckon this is a good idea, maybe a compound bow made of a mix between low quality metal and cloth? also some supporting attachments e.g broad arrows? or a peep sight? its like a ghost ring on the side of the shelf (place where the arrow rests). and with the normal hunting bow which resembles a recurve bow, you tend to shake when you hold the string back longer, with a compound bow they reach a point when you draw the string back that its easy to hold it. i wish i could explain better but i cant over text ^.^ but i really think this is a good idea
The arrow needs to be closer to the middle of the screen.
Right now it seems as if you are hip firing the bow and that is retarded.

It's supposed to be hard because otherwise, you may as well have a shotgun.

No, there needs to be another way to make using a bow hard. Aiming it isn't going to work.
All you literally have to do is stick a dot in the middle of your screen and you become a bow master.
Yah I would be fine if they added an assortment of bows. I mean we can "craft" military style guns, why not nice compound bows? Maybe even a crossbow later on.

Bows are easy to use, they just don't have a crosshair, they just take some getting used to. If you're gonna go through the effort of a dot on your screen, that's stupid.

You just said bows are suppose to be hard to use thus no good real way of aiming. Now you are saying they are easy to use?
Make up your mind.
bow sway
Wind factoring
More gravity factoring.
The chance of the bow actually slapping on your arm messing you up for the next shot.
Bowstring breaking.
Bow breaking.
Hard enough?
My thoughts on expanding bows.
First, give both bow types a maximum of three mod slots.
Compound Bow: 15 low quality metal and 10 leather. 100 damage (melee), long range.
Broadhead Arrow x2: 2 wood and 1 metal fragment. +25% Damage modifier for both bow types.
Stabilizer: 6 low quality metal. Reduces weapon sway. (Should be available on both bows.) [URL="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LK0R7fDQRBY/TDz4k6VUlpI/AAAAAAAAAsk/aT6Xo8svhRc/s1600/011+-+Copy.JPG"]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LK0R7fDQRBY/TDz4k6VUlpI/AAAAAAAAAsk/aT6Xo8svhRc/s1600/011+-+Copy.JPG[/URL]
Bow Sight: 5 low quality metal. Assists aiming. (Should be available on both bows.) [URL="http://www.qualityarcherybows.com/cobra-marksman-bow-sight-p-21074.html?osCsid=b5cef7e74441b8d4cad1d8cf24024865"]http://www.qualityarcherybows.com/cobra-marksman-bow-sight-p-21074.html?osCsid=b5cef7e74441b8d4cad1d8cf24024865[/URL]
Both bows should come up to an aiming position when drawing by default.
Bows with enough slots should also be able to add the flashlight. (Really no need for a silencer or holosight. LOL)
So in essence, this... [URL="http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/files/2011/09/PB_usingStablizer_092611A.jpg"]http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/files/2011/09/PB_usingStablizer_092611A.jpg[/URL]
If we can build mil-spec weapons, we should be able to build these too.
They also need to fix the the animations. Makes me LOL when I see someone shoot a bow and they get an arrow through their heads too.
A crossbow would be great in this game. Long reloading, high burst damage?

The bow we have now does as mush damage as the bolt action rifle. So as long as the resources needed reflects that I don't see a problem. But it has to be a hard to find recipe special bow. Not something you can do for, what is it 5 wood and 5 cloth, and is not a default recipe.

A bow like this [IMG]http://shootingtime.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/parts%20of%20a%20bow/bow.jpg[/IMG] that have a sight on it is as easy to aim as any rifle.

i want a crossbow... slow loading but powerful silent killer, with attachable scope/flashlight/laser
its gonna be added new bow shit calm down [url]https://trello.com/c/DRIvuMnw/177-bow-and-arrow-improvements[/url]
I learned how to make bows when I was a kid, and I can tell you right now the "hunting bow" we use would NOT function at all.
But, it's a video game so w/e.
I'd like to see a compound bow.
Also, I don't have a problem aiming the hunting bow, but the way it works is totally wrong. You sight down the arrow. I have no idea what drugs were being used when they did this weird firing from the hip stuff.
They are making add-ons for the current bow but they really should focus on making better bows instead of guns. Long, recurve, crossbow, and compound. Each with their merits and downsides.
Personally I just can't wait to have metal arrowheads.
Flaming arrows would be cool.

Imagine having a tree stand to go with it? Park yourself above a sulfur node in a high tree. Wait for some guy to come and then nail him in the back of the skull with an expanding broadhead. Have your friend take your picture while you hold him by his antlers...err...ears?
i dont think bows are too hard to aim most of my friends and myself are pretty good with them all it takes ids to realize the bow always shoots to the dead center of your screen. also the longer the shot you need to adjust a bit and arc the arrow.
i like the bows as is i would like to see some upgraded ones like a compound bow and maybe a longbow maybe even a crossbow.
Bump
Take the bow all the way baby, It's already been done IRL.
