Shoot bows faster by drawing faster
Is there any way that I can make bows shoot faster? The attack speed modifier will allow me to make them hit faster, but that doesn't really help. I'm trying to make it so that people with a "Ranger" bow will be able to shoot twice as fast. EDIT By shoot faster, I don't mean shoot the arrow at a greater speed, I mean draw back the bow to full draw faster.

This actually isn't as farfetched as it may seem. The {NoGravity} tag can be applied to any entity, including arrows, and we can use this to make poorly charged arrows travel farther.
Here's how:
Firstly, we need to make a "Ranger" team. This will be useful for targeting and executing and such.
/scoreboard teams add RangerMake sure that all "Ranger" players are put on this teamNow we need to turn off Friendly Fire. You will see why in a second
/scoreboard teams option Ranger friendlyFire false
Now on to the actual execution:
As soon as a bow is fired from a Ranger, set the entitydata of the arrow. Execute to all Ranger classes this command on as fast of a clock possible:
/execute @a[team=Ranger] ~ ~ ~ entitydata @e[type=arrow,r=3] {NoGravity:1}This will make all arrows that spawn within 3 blocks of a Ranger (which are most likely shot from the Ranger) have no gravity.Now that your arrow won't fall, we need to make it go faster! On the very next tick after you turn off gravity, execute this command with a conditional chain command block:
/execute @a[team=Ranger] ~ ~ ~ summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {Team:"Ranger",ignited:1,Fuse:0}This will summon a creeper that instantly explodes, propelling the arrow. However, it will not hurt the Ranger because it is on the same team as them.

5 Tips To Make Your Compound Bow Shoot FasterDoes draw length increase speed?
On the draw-length side, the data shows that higher performance bows (faster) have a slightly larger increase/decrease in arrow speed per inch of draw length than the slower bows. The faster models ranged from 9.8-11.7 fps per inch of draw length, while the two other bows ranged from 7.9-8.9 fps per inch.Why is my bow so slow?
All bows have a draw-weight range, but they often come adjusted below the maximum. So, one obvious way to increase your bow speed is to crank up the draw weight. If you can see a space between the limb and the back of the pocket that holds it in place, you likely have room to increase the weight.How do you increase arrow speed in Minecraft?
You can modify the Motion data tag which specifies in how many blocks per second an entity is moving an each axis. Replace (arrow's UUID) with appropiate selector for your Arrow and xmovement, ymovement and zmovement with the desired movement values. This will change the Arrow's speed as well as its damage.Archery - Fast Shooting (Murmansk)
