The first thing I would like to share is a trick to level up your archery for no coin at all.
1. First thing you have to do is tak to Fendal in Riverwood and give Camillia Valerious the letter.
2. You tell Fendal "Follow me, I need your help.
3. Then you ask him if he can train you in archery (spend as much as you can)
4. After that tell him you need to trade some things with him then recollect your gold.
5. Repeat

The only downfall to this is you can only do this up to level 50 Archery.

You can alway sneak up on a Greybeard and keep shooting them until you level up Just switch to the next greybeard when the current targets health gets low. I used this to level up my sneak but found it works for archery as well.

I'm sure alot of you already know, But you can grab Steel arrows from the Imperial soldiers practicing, just be careful to stay out of the line of Fire.

I also Grab Arrows from the Thieves guild Archer's as they practice. Those "seem" to be Lvl dependant. I've gotten Glass, Orcish and Ebony at different lvls.

I forgot all about that one...I used that to level up the sneak on my first character...Good times

I knew about the Imperials but not about the Thieves Guild

You can do the same thing more or less with Aela, she raises archery to 75 (Expert). All you have to do is complete the companions questline then any of the guild members can be followers. Buy training and trade for your gold back, you can do that with Heavy armor and two handed to 90 along with one handed, archery, and block to 75.

pickpocket a daedric arrow to them then later when they stop practicing take the arrow they were using and you get free unlimited daedric arrows

Yeha, i dont play as an archer these days but I always beat the companions first so i can max my one handed that way. Every other skill I train myself (with occasional training bought in light armor if the boost is needed or I am impatient).

Dang, you beat me to it. I used tjis method and i now have more than two thousand deardric arrows. If there are dragon bone arrows in the next dlc, ill be doing it again.

That's one I hadn't tried, thank's!

Tip: Carry a variety of arrows for different enemies. I use weaker arrows for weak enemies and the stronger arrows for stronger enemies.

Anybody got any stories?

Likewise, plus if there are daggers my dual blade of woes will be put away for good. These weapons are supposed to be stronger so i cant wait

Just sit off the side as they are firing and collect them as they are firing, you will collect between 20 to 50 more arrows then. Why the target only collects about 5 to 8 arrows before the next one will replace the first arrow. If you want to collect more arrows faster collect them as they shoot them. Took me about 1 hours to collect 200 daedric arrows.
