As somebody seriously in to historical archery and somebody who makes real bows, i have to comment on this one. Wooden bows are no toys, only if they are low draw weight or poorly made. Proper made simple wooden bows are very effective and depending on the draw weight, can kill pretty much any land animal, including elephants (like Howard Hill did) with a proper set up, so yeah, not toys by any means, primitive, but not toys. The longbow in skyrim is too thick for its with and i would round the edges a little bit, but other than that, its very simple but effective weapon, if it would be a real life weapon, in fact i plan on making one some day, like also hunting bow from skyrim, witch are the only two that could actually work as real life weapons, even tough both have some flaws as a proper bow design, mainly the extra mass on the siyahs (the end levers). I really like imperial bow also, and it's almost is working design also, but the sharp bends on both side of the handle wouldn't work, if they wouldn't be 90 degree bends it would be okay, but the 90 degree bend design would break.and that one is also too thick, it just wouldn't bend with those proportions, it would snap if somebody would be strong enough to bend it.

Yes, a bow can be used in a bashing attack like a shield, so all the spikes and such serve that purpose. Also, an arm and counterweight out in front of bows serve to balance bows making them more accurate, but not easily maneuvered during combat (At least in the real world).

All bows are worst except for crossbows in Skyrim VR cause normal bows (which there is a lot of them compared to the number of crossbows.) force the VR player to move their arms in a kind of motion which actually makes it hard to aim the bow accurately unless your someone who has actual practice with things like bows.

Even more so than the impossible poor design on them as bows go, cus not only they designed them poorly, they didn't even know witch side of their own design is up
