Scoped Bows is a huge weapons mod that adds scoped variants of all bows to the game, designed to be used without crosshair.
It comes with 4 optional tweaks (scroll down for details) that will greatly improve your archery gameplay experience.

Each scoped bow has two scopes. One is designed for quick shots (used when standing), the other one is designed for precise shots (used when sneaking).
All scopes are matching the design of the corresponding bow to keep them lore-friendly.

You are getting 32 Scoped Bows in total.



-----------------------------
<-------<< Install >>------->
=============================

Scoped Bows comes with a FOmod scripted Installer and therefore requires a mod manager to be installed.



--------------------------------
<-------<< Obtaining >>------->
================================

Scoped bows are seamlessly integrated into the game.
Accordingly to your level scoped bows will randomly appear in the world of skyrim (on npc's, in shop vendor menus or in containers), but you can also craft them yourself
if you have the required smithing perks and the corresponding vanilla base bow. Unique bows are already scoped when you find them.

-------------------------------------
<-------<< RECOMMENDATIONS >>------->
=====================================

For the best gameplay experience (in other words to use this mod how it is intended) you should:

1.) Disable the crosshair in your game settings.
2.) Use all the tweaks that come with the installer.



-------------------------------------
<-------<< OPTIONAL TWEAKS >>------->
=====================================

The following optional tweaks are included into the installer:


Stealth Meter-Tweak:
--------------------
Moves the Sneak Eye away from the center to enable an unobstructed view through the scopes. - This tweak is incompatible with any mod that changes the hudmenu.gfx file.


ini-Tweaks:
-----------
Increases the distance arrows fly, removes the aim assist and makes the crosshair or reticle the centre (rather than being slightly above it). They are the same as recommended in "S.T.E.P." (http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Configuration_Settings).
You don't have to edit your skyrim ini manually. ScopedBows.ini is overwriting the settings without changing the original skyrim.ini. - Ini tweaks should be compatible with everything.


Faster Arrows:
--------------
Makes arrows go 50% faster and further. - This tweak is incompatible with any mod that does the same thing.


Better Eagle Eye:
-----------------
Increases the zoom you get with the Eagle Eye perk. (Vanilla value: 0.6, modded: 0.8) - This tweak is incompatible with any mod that overhauls the archery perk tree.




----------------------------------------------
<-------<< Compatibility and Issues >>------->
==============================================

Please note that Scoped Bows is script free and therefore should not be able to cause any harm under any circumstances.

Compatibility:
--------------
The position of the Sights featured in Scoped Bows is carefully tweaked to work with vanilla animations and skeleton. The sights are supposed to point exactly into the center of the screen.
Mods that change the way your character holds the bow in first person mode (first person skeleton/ first person animations), or mods that change the position of the first person camera will most lkely interfere with the alignment of the sights.
The sights would no longer appear in the center of your screen, in other words: You would no longer look trough the sights when aming which for obvious reasons would make them useless.

Known Issues:
-------------
Clipping with some of the bows when wearing thick gauntlets. - Fix: None, but i's barely noticeable after getting the "quick shot" perk.
Opaque glass lenses with Ebony Mail armor. - Fix: Use the mod "Ebony Mail - Smoke Only"

Field of View (FOV):
--------------------
The sights are working with all possible values.
But keep in mind: The higher the value, the smaller (further away) the sights will appear. I recommend to use the default fov-value!
