What's wrong with bow?

[QRDL]

Trying to complete hunting mission in the beginning. My arrows fly well of the crosshair mark to the right and bottom! I literally had to put physical mark on my screen as backup crosshair to aim at the deers! How to aim that bloody arrows??

P.S. So far it looks like a bug.

I use mine all the time. No problem here.

you probably aim to far, bow is not a long distence kill weapon, arrow has arc fly distence to a point, go beond that point and its all bets off where it goes.

personally i use a bow alot and, don't have issue with it. either your game is bugged or "and don't take offence" you are bad with a bow.

I had kind of a similar problem during that mission because i wasn't holding down the left mouse button to ready the shot. If the crosshair goes red that means you will hit the target if not you could also hit the target but have to compensate for the falloff of the arrow.

The arrows have realistic ballistic behaviour.
Depending on the velocity it leaves the bow, it will follow a more or less curved arc.

Hold the fire button until the bowstring has been fully pulled back, then release for the straightest shot.

Don't hold too long, as your character will lose strength and your aim will start to wobble.

If you only tap the fire button, the arrow will be very slow and fall to the ground quickly.

If your stamina is low that will cause the bow to wobble.

No they dont, if your target is red, it will hit, simple as that.
