i get this message when aiming and sometimes even when i just assess the situation "You appear to be having difficulty targeting melee and ranged attacks." and sure enough my bolts just bounce off the walls. I can't hit critters one hundred lessons below my bows skill and i hit the critters just fine with blades 0ne hundred lessons below the critters level. any insight to whats goin on? Also, this is an intermittent/random occurance because there have been a few times when i could hit with the bow (for example... first shot:aim and fired when best shot, HIT (very hard hit in fact); subsequent next 7 shots all misses).

Well if you are a Paladin, there is a bug when HOW is up and bows/slings/crossbows where you will learn little to nothing and miss nearly everything. I posted it months ago and it still exists. When I train those I always turn HOW off because of this.
