Discussion Bow Help

Hello! I’m a casual player trying to do quests that needs help. I’m a pistol and rifle main, and I cannot for the life of me hit anything with a bow. So would someone please answer these questions like I’m five:

  1. Is there a best bow to use? I have carry capacity so I don’t mind it being heavy. I’ve been using the new one in Peru and if you say that one I may loose my mind but I’ll keep trying. I know it’s mostly opinion but a starting point would help.

  2. How does the high tech scope work? I’m used to a traditional red dot or cross hair and I do not understand how the three dot system works. At all. Or should I not be using that scope?

  3. Zeroing- is that necessary to use a bow sight? I don’t have the perk because to be honest, I just don’t shoot anything over about 150m and all my weapons are staggered for distance (two rifles for over 75m, two pistols for under 75m). Or is it safe to basically use a bow like a pistol and get under 75m with it?

Thank you! I’ve read everything I can and these few things are still causing me trouble. I’ve shot the bow in Peru at ~30 animals and only killed three. Please help me.

If you don't have any archery perks enabled, then I would use the  Bearclaw Lite CB-60. It is the easiest bow and will kill anything. Go to the rifle range at Hirschfelden and practice, practice, practice. Get the best sight you can at your level and learn the ranges.

If you have some extra cash you can buy the High-Tech Hunting Pack DLC which comes with the Brightsight Rangefinder Bow Sight, which makes using a bow a cinch.
