wood or modern bow ? what is best ?

[joss55 <3]

hello i wonder what bow is the best for precision to not miss target?

[Invader Zim]

they aim differently, you will have to decide which you find easier to aim and fire. Make a target and practice. I like the modern bow once I got the hang of aiming.

it all depends just on practise and draw speed when it comes to bow use in any game where dome the roman and go home man is a matter of winning a fight

the one you manage to practise well enough to shoot from a decent range and land consecutive headshots with either of them is your best pick

I prefer the modern bow as it is simply longer range, more damage, and more accurate although the crafted bow is easy to craft and can be quickly shot. Its kind of personal preference.

between the two of them, modern bow is better, but you can still make plenty of 1-kill headshots with the wooden bow.

the good thing about the headshots is , no matter the bow or arrow, it works.

now if you want to go for things like "hitting 3x instead of 5x to kill something that isn't a headshot", then the modern bow and those fancy arrows from the camp, are what you should be using.

Mechanically, the modern bow is best. Practically, it wholly depends on you. They aim differently and neither marks it with a proper reticle, you just have to get used to how they aim...so if you are already well practiced with the wooden bow because you can make that in the first 5 minutes of playing then it may just prove to be more useful to you specifically since it won't matter how hard the modern bow hits if you never actually hit anything with it...

That and any headshot with any bow or arrow is an instakill on a standard cannibal, so the actual differences between the bows don't matter much if you constantly aim for the head reliably.

You don't even need to be that good at aiming either. The arrows seem to have slight "homing" / aim assist thing on both bows.

Like i was consistently scoring headshots on fast moving targets.
Including shots that were 100% whiffs/misses registered as hits.

And I am definitely not Hawkeye!

I must have been using the bow wrong.

Arrows dropped past 3 feet, seemed useless to me lol.

Have to hold attack for a moment to fully draw the bow back and get its full range. Otherwise the arrows do tend to sort of flop out somewhat uselessly. An incomplete draw can be good for quickshots when getting swarmed but little else.

Modern is slow and powerful - good against muties.
Wooden is faster - good against cannies and animals.
