Try aiming for longer times, lol. Let the bar fill all the way up- Also use bone arrows. Stone arrows are trash.
Again, what I was saying was that before the patch, I could easily ditch out 140~ damage with 75% filled
now I hardly do 30~ with it 60-75% filled, I dunno if it's just me but it feels like my bows became useless. I have marksman 8 and use stone arrows (Ql 7) and bow Ql 6, which was way fine before the patch.

Increase your MM, make a better bow and use Bone arrows. PROBLEM SOLVED.
With shitty equipment and stats you should be doing rubbish damage and have a hard time killing stuff?

That's because before you caused full damage regardless of how full you aim bar was. Thats just not the case anymore.

Bow quality seems to be really important. I have around q 18 bones too but a 9 q bow, and I do about 120 damage.

Can indeed confirm that bow quality matters lots. I got a 7QL bow now, and befoore i had a 4QL bow - I do tons more damage now.

Literally the only thing this has changed for me is that I can't run up close to a deer and kill it with .1 seconds of aiming

And I have 1mm

Accuracy across rivers was nerfed?

17 out of 18 arrows have missed at 15MM.

Bows have pretty poor accuracy even at full meter, but make sure you are targeting the mouse on the ground in a line through your target, not just pointing at the target itself (like it's head or something.) I crafted the archery target and spent some time playing with it. Pointing the mouse on the ground under the target was much better than pointing at the bullseye.

I see so many people complaining about end damage being nerfed but i still one shot animals and i am seriously noob ATM. seriously all they did is so that you can't kill everything with q10 bow and 10 mm at the beginning of the game.
