Can anyone explain this?

Okay, so for the past few hours (skyrim time), I have been grinding archery, by summoning a boneman, shooting him, wait for magicka to recharge. (It's really boring, but I want that legendary dragon achievement). However, I quickly noticed that if you shoot him in the head, for whatever reason, the arrow bounces back at you (a cheat for all you archers exploring the soul cairn). So I can shoot him indefinitely without worrying about loosing all of my dragonbone arrows (although I couldn't stop Ariel's bow from loosing it's enchantment). However, the last time I loaded it up, I started getting archery kill cams frequently. The arrow doesn't bounce back during kill cams. I'm just curious as to why this is suddenly becoming a problem, or if there is some console command that can fix this?

You can't find a better way to level archery?

I'm not cheating, it's a perfectly exploitable and justified glitch. It's not cheating to abuse smithing/alchemy/enchanting in order to make godly weapons

I'd rather do something repetitive than spend hours wandering the wilderness looking for baddies to kill (I did that with the werewolf and vamp lord perk trees, and it was frustrating). On this character, I've done all the quests, so questing is out of the question.

Yes, I know I'm eccentric.

Even though, I would find another way. The thing is, I'm doing this in the thieves guild hideout, and there is usually someone practicing archery, which is a free source of infinite orcish arrows.

If the game mechanics allow it, it's justified.

go shoot a greybeard with the bound bow? no arrow worries, and no summoning required.

Meh, it's just as time consuming. Also, I thought that leveled up conjuration.

Look, the point of this ISN'T that I'm an OCD freak, I'm wondering why the game suddenly enabled archery kill cams and I'm wondering if there is some way to fix that.

have you considered skill training? niruin can train you up to level 90, and all the monies can be conveniently pickpocketed back by using unrelenting force.
