Buggy arrow collision on idle enemies.

[ver5151]

Now, this seems to be a problem only I am having. Because after searching for a while I failed to find any mention of it other than in a 5 year old reddit post with no replies. Arrow collision on idle npcs (and sometimes in npcs that I am fighting) is sometimes like this.

 

Arrows that should hit don't (Particularly in the head) and arrows that shouldn't hit do. Are there any fixes for this? These are the mods I am using:

I get that sometimes. My presumption has been that those "npcs" who aren't hit with what I think is a dead on shot, have some sort of buff or are considered by Skyrim to behind some (invisible to player) barrier.

 

And yes, it's annoying, isn't it?

I think that it has something to do with the ground/architectural meshes in the area, in much the same way that an NPC's feet can sink into the ground in some places, or the hit box is distorted for some reason or other.
