Fastest arrows/bolts and real gravity, for sensations closer to a real bow, craftable Warbow - a longbow with more damage on par with the imperial bow.

NEW: Now for the wonderful mod Hunterborn, and for Hunting Crossbow, under optional files.
The purpose of this mod is not to give you the speed and flat trajectory of a gun bullet, but to approach the feel of a real bow.
Playing with real bows since a few years, arrow speed in Skyrim is disturbing, too slow. I use a recurve and a longbow with 45lb of drawing tension, for an average speed of 209fps. Hunting bow are an average of 60/70lb - for 230/260fps (depend ond arrow weight and spine).
I changed the projectile speed from 3600 to 6500 5553 and gravity from 0.35 (nearly lunar) to 0.981 (Earth). All arrows are changed. You can use the test range with "cow ArcheryTestRange 0, -1" All tests made with real bows and test range in game are rigorously and scientifically totally INACCURATE!
I will be happy to tune this mod if someone with a good archery knowledge have better ideas.
The crossbow bolts are faster. But have a worst flight at long range.... like for real. The original bolts were flying straight, ignoring the Newton law. They have now a earth gravity of 0.981 and a speed of 8100. If you play a Wilhelm Tell, be prepared to be a little disapointed: At short range (10/25m), the bolt is a little upper compared to an arrow, but a little lower at long range (75/100m). Use the Crosshair Aligned Crossbow for immersive results.
Big thank you to antcodd for his help on Cell length! I finally found the right setup.
