So I actually gave one of my followers a bow to carry cuz I didnt have any room, and to my surprise, when we fought a tough enemy, he actually pulled it out! Then with not so tough, he uses his hunting bow again, just to test this, I went to a cave with a frost troll, and viola! He took out his bow of scorching! About fracking time. Yes he had better arrows than iron, yes he had a flawless smithed sword. FINALLY.....

Ok now give them better arrows and watch what happens...

he said he already did...

he was using elven. Elven arrows with an elven bow of scorching.
