Veridis Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Yo, What are the default arrow speeds? There's several mods that allow you to change the speed of arrows by percentages. I want to change the speed of my arrows so they match realistic values, however I don't know how fast they travel by default :mellow: Also, you might find this info useful or interesting, so here's my current research summary: Modern hunting bows are between 220 and 280 fps (feet per second).The fastest bows circa 2007 was 353 fps with theoretical speeds for future bows up to 400+ fps. English Yew Longbows: ~ 143-188fpsTurkish Bows: ~209fps (lighter arrows than longbows)Selfbows: ~175fps Speed isn't everything though. The weight of the arrow and type of arrow head count. When hunting the noise the bow and arrow make can scare animals.

Perraine Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Dunno about arrow speed, I guess you could check the various arrows in the CK and see if they are different, you could also turn your brain to mush by going through these articles , might be something helpful in there :biggrin: :wink: Some of these guys spend WAY to much time playing Skyrim ...

thekineticeffect Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I did a quick "empirical test", and found the horizontal speed of the vanilla arrow in my game to be approx 80 feet/sec, assuming that the PC is able to run at 17.3 feet/sec as reported by UESP at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Movement .

Perraine Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 In the CK the arrow speed (all variants) is set at 3600.00, what this number signifies is anyone's guess, however there is an arrow (which I'm assuming is a developer test item) prefixed as MQ101, that has a speed set at 15000.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l3lessed Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) It seems about 50% under the speed it should be. I am assuming the character is a master bowman though. https://goo.gl/images/tS80Zf Also, yes they are modern compound bows in the link, but 168 still seems a little low for a well crafted traditional composite bow.
