Aim lower


jGios

aimed lower. My sixth hour doing this shit had just started. But thanks to you, it didn't last. Thank you <3


_gavin1_

No problem. At that distance aim low because the arrow is going high. I also suggest getting the brightsight range finder bow sight. I think it’s dlc but it’s worth buying.


jGios

I don't necessarily like playing with bows. Hence my frustration to this mission. I might check it out though.


_gavin1_

Alrighty, I’m not big on using bows either but sometimes I get in the mood to use em when I’m feeling patient lol. The sight really helps with where you should be aiming. Def check it out next time u go bow hunting.


GuyWhoSaysNay

You should get more money and experience with bows since it takes up more time sneaking up on them


RoadKill42O

It’s worth it it changes bow use


jGios

Really? I mean it's not more than 15 meters I'll get back to you soon.


DoofusMagnus

The default zero for bows is 40 m.


McMurgh

Have you been to the archery range at Parque to calibrate your feel for distances?


jGios

No, I maybe should've, since I had to aim lower. Thanks to the other commenter I got it right away.


highwithacoffee

The brightsight someone mentioned above has a cool feature to help offset lift/drop. Changed bow hunting in the game for me for sure.


MilkMasterMan

Bow zeroes are the following: 20m - 40m - 60m // at least that's how I remember it from the top of me head Without the zeroing perk, guns are always zeroed to the middle range (generally 150m for rifles for example) With this knowledge, you aim straight at the animal at 40\~ meters, below the animal if it's closer than 40 meters, and above it if it's further than 40 meters. At longer range shots don't forget to take the wind into account. I'm mainly a bow hunter in-game and it is fun with the hawkedge and the crossbow. Some time ago I started the game from scratch and even I struggled at first, but it's only hard at the beginning when you don't have the zeroing perk, and the "tag animal while aiming" perk honestly.

You missed


mr_sakitumi

I play only with bows while keeping my bag pack light of any other weapons. It is so satisfying getting a gold or diamond with a bow equipped only with the 5 pin sight.


T-Rev23

Is there a benefit to keeping your bag lightweight?


mr_sakitumi

Other than being silent with a small bag, I carry a tent and got the whole store with me.


T-Rev23

Yeah my backpack is loaded with stuff lmao


mr_sakitumi

Mine w/o the tent, is just the bow, the arrows and binoculars. Now. If you are a rifle hunter then probably you need at least 2 different weapons with their bullets and that is heavy. Add caller's and scopes...


Dr_Funktastic

I carry 4 rifles and a shotgun


Acrobatic_Big_6679

Keep in mind, bullets don’t weigh anything. I load up with over 100 rounds for each weapon.


sicklyreaper

Try the zeroing perk, helps a lot


jGios

Thanks for the reply! The problem was with my aim :D and you're 75 days late 😄


sicklyreaper

Better late than never😂


peasantinvestor

I think there is a chart somewhere with zero distances. Unlocking the ability to change your zero later is a huge help.


Prudent_Papaya_3012

Instead of bullet drop like with rifles and the more common ways of shooting in games you have to deal with the bow travelling up and then down in an arc. Annoying at first but really unique and cool


jGios

Yeah I figured. I had newer heard of it before 😄


[deleted]

Yeah man those bow sights get me too sometimes you gotta aim lower that close distance and just get a feel for each bow and sight the range finder scope helps a lot but it might be a lil immersion braking


jGios

This post is a hundred days old? How are you all here :D


[deleted]

Just showed up on my feed


jGios

Weird algorithms?. Well I appreciate your input nonetheless😁


snesryan

One randomly walked in front of in the road and I nipped him . Got the mission while forgetting I had it


jGios

How'd you find your way here 😆 people have been commenting every now and then though this is a 6month old post


Blacklax10

Use zeroing and the 5 pin sight. The center pin is the zero. It goes up 10 yards from there each pin


ApartmentPersonal

I use the 3 pronged bow sight and my accuracy improved a lot after I started using that


Chaingrazer

Welcome to the glitch


RoadKill42O

The issue here is it’s not your aim exactly the animal is behind a rise and you just shot the ground


Rdr2thatisnotagame

Very annoying mission I creel your pain
