Controls Section[]
Does anyone else find the controls section a bit unnescessary? Its the only one of its kind I can see in this wiki. I'd delete it but if anyone has a good arguement as to why it should stay I'll be quite content to leave it.

I'm not really sure the common practices of a wiki or how to edit one so hopefully I'm not screwing this up or something... But for some reason the square button (on PS3, of course) does not cancel the shot. So everytime I need to get up and move to take a new shot quickly, I have to fire at the ground right in front of me, pick it up and move on. I didn't change any settings, yet no button will cancel a bow shot. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or error of some sort.

Hello, for some reason my recurve bow in farcry 3 will not cancel a shot... please help
Recurve Bow Nerfed[]
Did they nerf the Recurve Bow recently? I used to have no problem taking out Royal Army Defenders in one shot no matter where I hit them and I went through the entire game previously with just the bow and finding no problem one-shotting anything besides heavies, but now they take two shots to die. This is a huge problem when you're trying to go not just full stealth, but even open combat, as it takes so long for the bow to fire a second shot compared to most weapons. I used to go through entire outposts picking off everyone, then stabbing the Heavy Gunners and Flamers without being detected, but now I have to fire twice with the bow, and by the time enemies are dead, I've already been detected and I've got to try again. The same thing with Royal Guard Snipers, I have to fire on them twice, and it's made it impossible to effectively use the bow in Far Cry 4.
This is a huge disappointment as the bow was my favorite weapon, it made the game fun and exciting, I felt like Hawkeye, now it feels useless. It'd be one thing if you could upgrade your arrowheads to broadheads that would still one-shot them, but there's nothing like that. It's ruined the game's second playthrough for me and it makes the bow unusable in late-game.
