the way the bows aim is trajectory prediction based.

if you are aiming at a specific spot, your character will try to arc the shot to hit that exact location.

you still need to lead and give extra height to shots though, because while you are aiming at the direct spot it still has drop.

aiming at a deer around 20 meters away and if you shoot above it where you're aiming over it and not actually with your crosshair on it, the bow will overshoot, but if you aim right at the deer it will try to arc at it and undershoot.

this can end up causing frustration being that there is no middle ground between aiming right at the deer, and aiming right above it.

my experience is to hunt up hill, because you will always be aiming high and the arrows will always undershoot, thus landing shots more precisely.
