*Bugs with bows*
So far a few bugs have been noticed with bows. One bug is not being able to hit the mob if it has a part of it's bodey aginst or touching a wall or object. First off to solve this problem, simply get aginst the wall or object the mob is touching and keep your self aligned with the mob and the wall. A second bug is loseing arrows with out a message. This is a bug and you did not lose your arrows, the mob is simply too far away from you for the chat bar to give you the You try to hit So-and-so, but miss!
