I have done nearly all of the Elder Scrolls 4 quests and side trips. I am at the point in the "Ultimate Heist" of the Theives Guild where I have to shoot the arrow of extracation at the statue. So far so good. However when I shoot that arrow or any arrow it does not even go half way across the room. Is there a clue to getting the arrow to actually go that far? I have a slight suspicion that in all my quests to get to my level 26 I have always used swords and never bows. Is the shooting of the arrow failing because I never developed archery skills?
If so then I will not be able to finish my final quest.
