Improvised bow very inaccurate.
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

The improvised bow is way too inaccurate. I mostly use improvised arrows, but it's the same with composite arrows too. Even when my character catches his breath the arrow still shoots too far right, or left.
It's happened a dozen times while trying to shoot a deer 10 feet in front of me.

Confirmed in 0.53, I made a improvised short bow and the arrows were firing far left of my "dot" sight when I was hip firing, I was a bit confused.

cs_wolf, I'm using the bow regularly and can't confirm this. Firing an accurate shot isn't easy and by far not fast though. When you bend the bow you'll recognize your arms swaying. Every time the arm moves to the most upper left the shot will be more or less accurate (happens about once a second). When you release the arrow at any other time the shot will go far to the side (most likely to the left). Releasing an arrow while bending is quite accurate but suffers from a lowered range which isn't great anyway.

Still I don't want to go in a firefight with just a bow.
