Aiming the Houyi Recurve Bow. How are you finding it?

[Kaned Dragon]

Hi, As the title says.
How are people finding aiming the new Houyi recurve bow.

1. How do you find the camera angle used on the Houyi bows compared to the compound bows, or even the bows in Classic?
2. What's the average distance your shooting from?
3. Are there any changes to the bow that you would like?
4. How does it compare to the compounds and crossbow, For You?
5. Anything else you would like to add, please share :)

1. I'm liking it atm, finding it very satisfying and relatively easy to aim, considering there's no sight. The current camera angle is working for me. I don't like the looking straight down the shaft when shooting, as it impedes my ability to gauge the necessary angle of elevation. By having the angled view of the arrow, it really helping estimate the elevation needed.
2. Most my shots have been within the 40m mark. Only done a couple of long distance shots, but I count those a pure luck.
3. I'd like a lighter arrow for smaller deer, like blacktail, and coyotes. It feel out of place only having the one arrow option atm. Both compounds ad crossbows have 3 arrow options. Although I suspect there is a reason for this.
4. I think I've had a better accuracy ratio than with the compounds. I don't always find the sights help, and for myself. I can usually just about see the arrows flight path once I release. When I use the compound bows, but the time, my guys got the bow down, the arrow is already to far away to see where it's gone. But the recurve arrows fly slightly slower. It's really helped me gauge where the arrow went, and allows me to correct my shots, on the fly.
5. I really hope the camera angle used at the time of this post, does NOT get changed.

Right I’ve had my say, Please feel free to share your thoughts. And feel free to go off topic :) It wouldn’t be a COTW thread without some off road comments :D

Thx

I used the recurve for a while but I stopped using it for two reasons: 0% integrity on fox, coyote, musk and roe and blacktail deer-- and the fact that I just pretty much suck with it and got tired of long tracking sessions.

I can tell you that by using the hardware aim point on my monitor I proved to myself that when using the angled view of the arrow the aim point is the exact center of the screen. Which can actually be difficult to eyeball on a wide screen monitor.

1) I am getting used to the aimpoint, but I am certainly open to the Dev Team finding ways to better simulate Intuitive Aiming, even if that means adjusting how we aim currently.

2) I shoot from under 20 meters.

3) I would like a greater variety of arrow types, so we can use the Houyi with all the animals and get full integrity.

4) I really love all the Bows and the Crossbow in COTW, the Houyi is certainly no exception. Unless a mission requires a gun, I take the Houyi and CB-70 or the Houyi and CB-165. Eventually, I have to pick up a backpack so I can carry all three. :)

5) I really enjoy the Houyi. What a neat Bow. I am really glad the Dev Team included it in the Weapon Pack 1 DLC!
