Hunting rabbits...? Don't bother with the bow because its complete trash
Why??

Seriously, when was the bow released and you still haven't fixed it? I have had level 5 bow skill for a while now and I can only use rocks for the rabbits...

The bow is COMPLETE trash even after the supposed "fix"

COMMON....

Hinterland, why?

I just killed 2 bunnies with a bow. It was easy.

Don't bother with the bow because the only worse choice is the heavy hammer.

The bow is overkill.

You need a bigger target. A bear for instance.

Lots of time spent to collect and dry the birch, as well as forge arrowheads, and then make the arrow to waste it like that.

Besides, the bunny hitbox is absurdly large now. It's almost impossible to miss with a rock.
I hunt rabbits with the bow to get up to level 3 along with reading the book and making arrows.

If you are set on using rabbits, use the snare. Much more sustainable as it doesn't deplete their population as fast. Contrary to what one may think you don't literally snare the existing rabbits. A carcass just appears randomly in the snare

Cool. A bunch of useless comments and opinions. Thanks y'all.

If you're not looking for a discussion, posting in a discussion forum is a bad idea. If you simply want to give feedback to Hinterland, with no input from anyone else, you're better off doing it through their website. Then the pesky opinions of others won't bother you :)

Guys, the bow says "suitable for SMALL game..."

Bears AREN'T SMALL GAME.

LIES..

Can you share a video of your rabbit hunt? I think you're doing it wrong in some way.

Once you get used to it, it's actually pretty funny to headshot the little critters...

So, try to improve, maybe? (trying not to say 'git gud m8')

I personally like the rifle and revolver coz it's a garrunteed hit but not great for big game like moose or bear

Why not? It's exactly what OP needs to hear.

OP is bad. OP needs to git gud, so that OP won't be bad.
