Why do my arrows drop after flying a few meters?
I'm playing as a khajit in skyrim, going to assassinate Beitlid in Dawnstar. Now, the first time I did it on her porch and just killed her with the Blade of Woe. I got caught somehow, whatever, so I loaded a previous save because mid-jailbreak the guards decided to just attack instead of attempt an arrest.
Then I tried sniping her... and now my arrows have FED, Flight Erectile Dysfunction. They fly... like two feet before suddenly dropping off. It's weird. It doesn't matter how long I hold the trigger, it just droops.

If you have the Dragonborn expansion, you might also be using Riekling Spears instead of standard arrows. The spears are much heavier than arrows, and do not fly nearly as far when shot. When you run out of arrows, the game might have automatically switched you over to spears.

Why is my arrow dropping?
It is not TOO much weight. Unless you have cash to blow on new arrows, your arrows should be fine. A heavier arrow will drop faster but your penetration should still be at least the same but probably better than a light arrow. You probably have a tuning issue and at long distance your arrows are not flying well.Why do my arrows always go left?
If you are a right handed shooter - arrows going left is an almost certain sign that you are dropping your bow and not following through the shot. Your peeking so to speak. Remind yourself to keep looking at the spot until AFTER the arrow impacts - and I bet your issue vanishes.Why do my arrows go into the target at an angle?
More videos on YouTube If the arrow flies at an angle, something's out of whack, and accuracy suffers. First check to ensure you're shooting an arrow with the correct spine for your bow. Arrow \u201cspine\u201d is its stiffness. The higher your bow's draw weight, the stiffer the arrow's spine should be.Why are my arrows all over the target?
If your arrows are outside the parameters set for your specific bow, then the spine is going to be too weak or too stiff. In either case accuracy will suffer, especially with fixed-blade broadheads.Arrow Impact Faults and Fixes What Causes Fliers in Each Direction | Diagnose Archery Problems Quick

Answer 2
Ok.
I was getting really irritated because I was having the same problem.
Read the solutions and none of them worked.
I was determined to find a solution so I did.
Put multiple kinds of arrows in your quick inventory.
(Up on the dpad for Xbox 360 [y from items list to put them in there])In first person draw your bow
With bow still drawn select a different arrow in the quick list
Try and it will shoot correctly.
Answer 3
I found how to stop that glitch. At least for me it worked: Just shoot any arrow without holding the bow at all. Like just do a quick powerless shot, and then you should be able to shoot as before!
Answer 4
Just switch between types of arrows and fire one off until the glitch debugs, I tried foresworn, iron, steel, elven, and dwarven before it debugged. don't waste, recover after as they land in a pile.
Answer 5
Just shoot a lot of arrows till the glitch disappears, if that doesn't work then favorite every kind of arrow that you have in your inventory then equip your bow and hold the button used to draw then equip a different type of arrow and shoot, hopefully it works
Answer 6
To fix the problem just keep firing arrows. You got some faulty arrows. Don't pick them up again. Has nothing to do with the bow, the bow is fine.
