Microsoft updated some low level math math functions a couple months ago, and it turns out that makes it so the physics would explode if you shoot a windmill blade(or anything really but it was most noticeable on the windmills) too hard, or if you get hit by one at some angles, and not explode in a fun and silly way, it would blast you out of the map instantly and you just see black - or worse it would crash the game!
Unfortunately the fix requires a small change to the joint physics, and the rope on the bow has 'several' joints, so the arrow's rope just inherently felt different. I did a lot of tweaking and got everything feeling mostly the same but a bit smoother, then I felt like this was a good opportunity to change the bow's power curve a bit - it's now much easier to shoot lower power chip shots, while still having the same max power.
Replays should still look the same though! 👍
