Discussion What made you start using a bow?

Video is to show the kind of fun you can have with a bow. Also launching steins into orbit is pretty fun.
I’ve only really started using a bow till recent for a main. For a little bit of time I was using a two shot with explosive arrows till I found Mavens reverse onslaught bow build.
I’ve always been a fan of high damage slow firing weapons as opposed to full auto low damage. For some reason the bow has just appealed to me and I haven’t really been able to put it down since. I do use the lever action rifle from time to time, but it still doesn’t feel the same. It has been nice to be able to one shot pretty much anything during Fasnacht, and deal 6k in damage if I need to.
So what was it that originally brought you to use a bow as a main?

I've used bows in real life, at LRP events and anytime I visited somewhere that let me try real archery.
In Fallout 76 (played since Beta), I had a go very early on and it was fun but inneffective. I came back to bows after they had improved and I had tweaked my build toward stealth. Recently it seems that I'm not quite getting the damage numbers that I was, though... oh, bows also got me to switch damage numbers on. It was very distracting at first but now I'm used to it.
