Can't use bows? Hmm - I've been using them fine while mounted, on the PC version.

It would be nice if you could run down your enemies with your horse to do damage. Well, not really nice, but you know what I mean.

You can use bows on horse back and, with Dawnguard, crossbows. Although, there is a bug on PC with mounted combat and UI mods, you are apparently supposed to see the cursor, but for some reason when you have a UI mod it doesn't show up.

Magic and "horse charge" are supported by PC mods already. There is also plenty of mods to make horse better. On the PC…again.

Does SKYUI break the mounted combat cursor?

Horse charge, cool!

on a mod or 1.6? I should check that again then. Maybe I failed to equip.

Unmodded - just plain 1.6.

I don't have any cursor with SkyUI while mounted.

Damn, and that's a MUST have mod. Hope they fix it soon!

You can definitely use bows with Patch 1.6 - in fact, they seem to be the easiest weapons for me to use with mounted combat.

With melee weapons you have to get right up on top of the enemy for the hit to register.

Having played Mount&Blade recently, I have some training with that. Although, it work much better in M&B, everything feel more "natural" in that game compared to Skyrim.
