Do you want automatic correction for the ballistic curve the bow shoots with? You want it to shoot identical to all other weapons in the game? Boring.

*COUGH COUGH GIT GUD COUGH COUGH* 😁

A better option would be a practice target that always returns your arrows so everyone can GIT GUD😆

That would be hilarious and even better would be making power tools take stamina to use as Madmole mentioned way back in the thread that he wants to do that. As a added kick in the pants have the Jackhammer suck big time when it encounters gravel.

We have zombie bears and wolves (dire wolf) so why not zombie rabbits, chickens, deer, and boars. The Zombie rabbits could jump at your face and if they hit you latch on to gnaw your face off.

Look on the bright side the negative food loss from the lack of fresh meat will be more than made up for by the increased availability to make farm plots.

Rabbits and Chickens are practice targets. Guaranteed to not hurt you even if you miss.

Key term not being applied by using small game animals as "practice targets" is underlined in below quote. That isn't even touching on the weirdly random variability of range that some of the arrows and bolts seem have when fired.

Hard to improve when you have no indication of where the shot landed.

Thinking about it some more it could be a horde day event which allows a chance for zombie animals to spawn that grows the longer your game goes. With normal animals becoming rarer on horde day as animals always freak out before bad things happen.

The Horde is heralded by a Zombie Chicken at dusk.

I didn't notice this part was in any way important. I'd take a stack of meat and bones in exchange for a few arrows gladly.

 
I used to use the old gore piles as target practice. When you hit them they popped in a very satisfactory manner and there were always plenty to clean up after horde nights. Didn't return the arrows, of course, but back then we never got any arrows back ever...

Am I the only one who is never fooled by the new gore piles? 😛 (They look great though.)

I love the newer corpses.  Especially the ones in the same pose as some sleepers.  The similarities are close enough that in a low light condition a player can be distracted for a few seconds which is all the time needed to setup the best jump scare. 😀

I gotta say i have never been so happy, day 12 in my 50% loot world and was able to build myself an auger, i got lucky with my trader in the first couple of days and bought the schematic, then i was blessed with motor tool parts continuously, @%$*#!s about to get real in my levels hahaha

 
Man you guys weren't kidding about the stamina usage when using the impact driver. Honestly I didn't notice so much when using the ratchet but dayumn guys....my dude gets pretty winded taking apart one full vehicle.

I had to take a break when impacting the school bus to give the stamina time to recover.
