I think the archery mechanic was smoother in Skyrim, but the hit detection is awful. In my experience when using archery in Skyrim some arrows tend to clip through people's heads, while others just get glued to the side of their shoulder. On the other hand, the momentum and the acring of Oblivion's arrows made it a little more difficult to long shot people and also the zoom was quite awkward. This is why I prefer Skyrim's archery over Oblivion's, because it feels much smoother and natural, and I can cope with clipping issues.
