🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, try manually placing the mod's files into your Data folder and test if it works — many Oldrim audio mods still function.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily toggle this mod on and off if you want to compare sounds.
This mod only changes bow firing sounds, so pair it with other audio mods for a complete overhaul if desired.
