YESSSS LINKDAD.

Try different bow strafes, or stop to shoot, and then move as a strafe (There are many, but that's a good beginner one to get a sense of trajectory).

Practice, practice, practice! ;)

Becoming legendary, or for that matter "good" with a bow takes a lot of practice and patience. The Bow can be your best friend or your worst nightmare depending on how you plan to use it. Yet, if you are just looking for some all around good practice, I would suggest the Archer Ladder on Badlion.

Or even play around with aim in general, I got good and aiming (and with that, PVP) by playing paintball on this small server, aim really helps, so any practice with your aim and keeping your hand steady really helps too.

Exactly, generally the hardest part of using the bow is the whole aiming idea. You must be able to predict with a fairly good sense of judgment where the person is going next, so you can revaluate and recalculate.

Just use it constantly, the more you use it, the more you'll understand it. Another key thing is to not rush your bow shots. Take time when you're at the 3rd pull back and use your brain! Think about where your opponent will go next, don't just shoot. If you get into this habit of actually thinking about your shots, you will definitely see improvements! Another factor is FOV, don't play in a higher FOV just because people tell you to. Find the FOV that suits you and makes you play at your optimum. Good luck! :)

I'm going to try and change my FOV. I think I need to use a lower FOV anyway. Thanks for the tips!
