In real life, there are a myriad of different bows, some short and weak, some long and strong. Since it'd be too cumbersome to have a bejillion different bow types, why not have a fletchers table? Put your bow into the fletchers table and you can:
Customize the bows look
Customize the bows stats
Enchant your bow
For items look:
I'm no sprite maker. Anyone want to make mockups?
For stats:
The shorter you make your string, the more damage the arrow will do, the farther the arrow will fly, BUT the bow will take longer to draw back, and your hands will quiver at full draw until you release the string more or less depending upon how long/short the string is. Obviously lengthening the string has an inverse effect.
Enchanting the bow: You can enchant your bow with various effects, almost like the custom arrows mod, allowing it to shoot fireballs instead of arrows, infinite ammo, explosive arrows, light giving arrows, that sort of thing. In addition, using the 'stat' system for the bow you could enchant it for less hand quivering, etc.
If you like, give me a rep and comment in a positive manner, if you don't like, buzz off. I want to see this implemented, and you ain't helpin'.

really good idea but wouldn't it make more sense if you got better range from a longer bowstring
and less power and have shorter do more damadge but shorter range
For game's sake the physics would have to be inverted and nonsense, which would be pretty cool. It would all depend on your style, actually once you think about it you should get a damage bonus the farther away you hit it since it's hard to do, now I'm just confused...
I like them the way they are keep them that way..
Explosive arrows are fun and all but they get boring after 3 shots and are cheat-mining.
Yea, I didn't think of the Elgish longbow and such.
I don't see why the bow stat system would need a physics invert. Just modify the maximum range for the bow based on the string length, as simple as moving a slider back and forth in the optins menu.
And it's just a suggestion, but with the 'stat' system the bow enchantments wouldn't have to have arrow effects at all.

i think what he means is that you can make them more powerful than the stock bow with the adjustment thing am i right?
ONLY enhancing the bow using the table would improve it. Just adjusting string length will do nothing but increase/decrease range and knockback, as well as implementing 'hand tremors', making aiming more difficult as the bow's shot power increases. Kinda like changing Field of Vision for different playing styles, it doesn't actually enhance anything by itself.
