Hawk Edge CB70

[wilmer007]

i've been using the razorback for most of the game (i'm level 11) to hunt roe and fallow deers mostly, and i finally have $52,767 to buy the Hawk Edge. how much more can i expect out of this investment of terms of doing more damage which means less chasing, more range, etc... i only need about 900 more bow score to get the 600 GR arrows unlocked, and i still need about 2900 bow score to unlock the Mark 5 bow sight (still using the default sight that comes with the Razorback).

Better penetration is what you will get. And more range but sniping with bows is not that accurate all the time. I can get spine shots on bison with the regular bow and 420g arrows though so if your aim is stellar it´s less needed but it will always help :)

ok~ let pro Bow master tell you the truth:

70lb arrow is faster than 60lb, +1/6 arrow fps in game
and less windage influence than 60lb

so 80lb bow arrow will around +1/3 arrow speed in game after release...

Very nice shooting from prone! (I need more practice).Yeah, in general for every extra 1 lb, you get an extra 1 fps.

They gave the CB70 less accuracy (than the CB60), and perhaps the random offest might be seen more with the 70 than the 60, the extra fps helps a bit with that. Relatively speaking, the CB70 should throw the 600g with the same fps as a CB60 shooting a 420g.

IMO, the CB70 is worth using is you have all the archery perks and expecting long range shots. For me, I have the CB70 but since I don't shoot beyond 40m I'm happy with the CB60 to do my work. CB70 is better at larger game at a distance (moose and elk), but if you just plan on shooting smaller stuff, the CB60 is just fine.

The game doesn't seem to model the "bow snap" when shooting (to alert the animal before the arrow arrives, in which case faster is better), but hard to tell since I don't video record my shots (maybe I should!). It's been said that nobody makes a bow fast enough for a deer, in that regard.

I expected a lot our of the CB-70 and found I couldn't drop animals more easily than with the CB-60. I think I wasted 48000 on that bow and another 12000 on the sight which doesn't really help unless a) you first measure the distance to the animal and b) you know what the pins are set for. I have gone back to using the CB-60 with no extra sight.

As I know, there's only fps different between CB60 and CB70, CB70 arrow is faster.
the damage is up to your arrow, now bow.
and the arrow range is fixed, not by sights.

so thats why you can change arrow and bow sights without any feeling changed.

Razorback cb60 or bearclaw cb60, which one choose if it costs the same?

Hawkedge is great I have all the bows and crossbows but hawkedge is what i use 99% of the time the other 1% is mainly mission related.
