He doesn't wait for the arrow to be fully drawn back, thus it has almost no power and arcs downward rather rapidly.

I dunno, a bunch of people have been posting about how archery is glitched. Maybe it's the arrow trajectory that just takes some getting used to?

Hes just tapping the attack button, the arrows won't go far if you don't pull the string all the way back.

Thanks! That makes a lot sense. In that case this is actually an awesome close range arrow tactic ^.^

Edit: I've never actually just tried tapping the attack button for archery before, but then again I don't use archery that much even on my stealth character anyways 0_o this looks cool though, makes archery more viable in melee

Have you not used a bow at all? If you just tap the button that's what happens with an arrow.

No it's not. You barely do any damage if you don't pull back the bowstring.

Not really, the arrows do minimal damage do to the lack of drawback, I tried it early in the game to boost my archery skill but the technique failed miserably. :sadvaultboy:

I haven't messed with a bow much either, and when I did, I guess I pulled it all the way back every time.

I do believe we are witnessing the worst archer of all time.
