Not meaning to be snide, but you can one-shot kill stuff at low bow levels just the same.

The rate at which your Stamina drains is actually different from 40 to 60 by a noticable amount. Does it mean I can't play bow anymore? No. But I don't feel like a single death should strip levels that cost hundreds and hundreds of arrows to level up.
