I really want to use the bow, but I'm god-awful with it.

I use it with a marksman sight, and I really enjoy the feel of having 20+ arrows to sling at stuff, but half the time I miss my shots, or the arrows phase through without killing them.

Any suggestions?

Use red dot sight.

Don't try to hit targets running perpendicular to yourself. Instead, wait until they stop or run towards/away from you. Then let the aim assist do the rest of the work. This procedure becomes considerably more consistent when you unlock the skills for bows.

This - if you can't use the marksman, use this one instead. Otherwise you'll just end up frustrated.

Practice in an open area at a wall or tree and learn how to use the range finder dots. I sucked with the bow until I learned that and now I even use it in heated combat against everything from snipers to chargers.

I use a waypoint to get the distance as it shows how far you are from it in the corner, I know enemies dont show up on the map, but I use the buildings at outposts as reference points to gauge the guard positions.

I find its an easy and effective way of being decent with the bow.

Use red-dot sight? I thought marksmen was suppose to be easier to use?

All I can say is that the arrow drop isn't that significant, or so I think.

I don't know if you can do this in the map editor (haven't used it yet), but I'd say if you could you should set up a target practice area from various distances and whatnot.

Oddly enough, fire arrow seems to be even worst than regular arrow, I just can't get It to hit. Even when I feel like I hit the target, the floor starts burning but not the enemy.
