Archery : Elder Scrolls Skyrim
One of 18 skills in Elder Scrolls Skyrim V : Skyrim, Archery is a combat skill which falls under the warrior play style.
Why is Archery Bad Ass
Archery is one of the most bad ass skills because it pairs so well with Sneak. You can clear entire dungeons without ever being seen. Bows were made much more powerful in Skyrim and it really shows as you rain death upon victims from the shadows.
What does Archery Affect
If you couldn't piece that one together I don't know what to tell you. Archery affects the effectiveness of all attacks made with a bow. As with all other skills in Skyrim, increasing the skill allows you access to powerful perks (pictured right) that allow you to zoom in, land more critical strikes or even stagger your enemy.
Increasing Archery Skill in Skyrim
You gain skill in Archery by hitting enemies with your arrows. Firing at the sun will do nothing, you won't get your fire arrows that way either.

Archery Tips
Firing a bow is unlike firing a gun, your arrow doesn't fire straight. There is an arc so for short to mid ranged shots fire slightly lower and for long ranged shots aim higher.
