This mod uses the latest files from every single release as of 11/30/2020. 
It also includes modified meshes for every bow tweaking the string locations for each one to match with Vanilla structure.

Known issues:
______________

If you are using a single release unique plug in and updating to this compilation plug in you will lose that item in your inventory if you disable the single release .esp

Two options:
Reaquire the item
Leave single release plug in active to retain the item in your inventory from the sigle release.
It will only double up the item having both installed at once.

My good friend PhatBassAnchor without whom this mod probably would never have been made for feedback, history, details on bow constrution, play testing, names, and ideas.
Thank you brother :)

Both my doggos Harley, and Angel who allowed me to take pictures of their fur to use as textures on  the bows.
Good Doggos :)

Final thoughts:

This has been a long and fun journey spanning more than a month of work in creation.

I have been successful in changing the face of archery for my game as I had intended, and very happy with the final result.

I hope you enjoy it also.
