Archery / Crossbow Guide
By kanuzira
The bow and arrow have been around for thousands of years. We used them for hunting and sports. In later years the gun was introduced as an other, better way to hunt. But we bowman dont listen to all that fancy guntalk. We are real man, we like to do it like our ancestors did it and use real skill to take our prey. With this guide i'll learn you how to use it and be a real man.

This is my second archery guide since the first one was taken down. All testing has been done by me.

You need to use the bow while hunting animals. Once you hunted enough animals with it you will unlock the sights for purchase
YeetMissedThat 11 Jul, 2022 @ 10:06pm 
how do i buy bow sights it says i need a higher bow score
koudy 15 Jun, 2021 @ 12:09pm 
U can use a digital scope, but that scope has some problem with calculating (sometimes)...There is a chance to hit a fox on 100m with luck or about 145m bizon

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but the only one I found, so: Do the Archery Perks have an effect on the crossbow?
