More accurate archery

[Amon Ra]

Are there any tweaks that i can make to the skyrim.ini file to improve archery? my arrows seem to fly higher than the crosshair. i can judge fairly well when it comes to long distance shots, but if my target is closer eg 70 - 100 feet, then the arrows fly over their heads. i can hit them if i dip the cross hair at knee level. i tried the following settings and this seemed to make things worse.

[Actor]
fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000
[Combat]
fMagnetismStrafeHeadingMult=0.0
fMagnetismLookingMult=0.0
f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
f1PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7
f3PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7

i'm using the nock to tip mod, and have constructed a bow with a 120lbs draw strength, so my arrows tend to fly faster and further than they would with vanilla settings.

you use crosshairs ? not me, i love a challenge with no hud or crosshairs and i use this mod for my bows: Scoped Bows, it's an awesome mod for people who like to play without a hud.

Well...you could always just compensate for the arrow height by aiming a little lower.....Maybe that is to simple though for you?

Arrows fire dead center through the crosshairs.

There are no tweaks. I play on the console and PC and as an archer I am pretty accurate even at long ranges. You use the crosshairs 4 reference and if you know where the arrows shoot then adjust the crosshairs accordingly.

Thanks for that, but it isn't compatible with the Nock to tip mod

yes, far too simple

Here's a couple of alternatives you can use to get the trajectory you want.

1. On the ini tweak you will have to mess around the the numeric values of the arrowtiltupangle in order to get the trajectory you want, the higher the number, the higher the arrow will go when shot from the bow. For example I'm playing my archery in third person all the time instead of first person so I had to lower the numeric value of f3parrowtiltupangle to be aligned with the crosshair.

Or..

2. You can go on the CK or Tesedit and and alter the gravity and speed of the arrow you want to use to your liking. There's a mod called ABT arrow tweaks the fastest arrow is 7200 speed and 0.2 gravity which makes archery suited for long distance sniping which is want I use for a specific arrow in the Elven Armory mod.

Please note you can also merge the former and latter together though if you're still not satisfied with the results you're getting.
