Archery (Skyrim)

An archer is trained in the use of bows and arrows. The greater the skill, the more deadly the shot. Archery is a skill in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and is one of the six skills that falls under The Warrior play-style. Archery skill is raised by the use of bows that the player can equip and use.

Archery is a skill type that has appeared in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall as well, and It is similar to Marksman in that was in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Archery as opposed to Marksman, is considered a combat skill, not a stealth skill.

The bows will take longer to pull back but do more damage and that holding the string back will not drain your stamina. The bow also acts more like a long-range high-precision high-damage weapon (contrary to the short to mid-ranged bows of previous installments), there are certain perks that allow you to zoom in, hold your breath and use pre-ballistic slow motion while aiming a bow.
