Description

This mod unlocks bow crafting recipes based on your archery skill level, so you don't have to be a smith to craft bows. It also adds crafting recipes for most vanilla bows. I also added perks that are specific to bow tempering. They are added automatically when your Archery Skill reaches the required level. I didn't change the perk tree so it's compatible with all perk overhauls.

Compatibility
This mod will conflict with other mods that alter the vanilla bow crafting recipes. Load this mod late in your load order to have it overwrite changes from other mods. I didn't touch the tempering recipes so those are fine.

Requirements
For the vanilla version you just need the latest patch of Skyrim.
For the DLC version both Dawngaurd and Dragonborn are required.

Recommended Mods
If you want something more in depth, try Knock to Tip, which is the mod I was using before this, but there are some things I didn't like about it. Mainly that the new crafting materials cluttered my inventory and that you couldn't temper the new bows in the same way.

Also Archery Gameplay Overhaul is one of the best archery mods out there.

Installation
Extract to your Skyrim/Data folder and check in your load order.
