Yeah I would suggest short bow to the 85er's using a Indy, a couple of milliseconds faster than repeating and can use the same OP gpoison arrows. It will have about the same miss-rate as a composite with 100 I believe.

Elite o'hii composites are the only bows worth using at the moment for damage(with gpoison arrows unless you're in Ice). I'm trying to see if there is a large group that actually hunts with them so we can actually post some ideas on changes. It would be nice to have a wide range of bows used that didn't have a significant damage drop.

Also this is an attempt to boost the bowyer market, or to see if it's even worth it. Right now I'm surprised this many actually use them. I was expecting low results and in response was going to suggest Bowyers be combined with Carpenters honestly.

hell yeah, i'd combine carpenters with bowyers asap :P less trouble for both chars, no more issues about creating market for them, they could make furniture, kindlings, boats, staves, arrows, bows..it would be really wise to do imo, but i can't see the "big picture" :P

about the 85 archery users. is it not "profitable" to use repeating crossbow?or arrows are just better than bolts so one would go for shortbow?

Yeah, an assassin could make great use of bows actually. Druid bless on top of indy archery with that kind of dex would make a great hunter.
