Archery Bug? (Ps4)

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue:
I’m using a Yew Longbow, and I have bracers on, but I’m still taking damage every time I fire off an arrow. Is this a bug, or am I missing something here? I’m currently at work, and I forget what level my archery skill is, but it’s below level 5 I think.

Bows have requirements in strength and agility. If you don’t meet those then the bow doesnt work/you could get hurt. I imagine a long bow takes a lot of strength. Just look at the bows info and compare it. That’s all I can think it would be

I meet the requirements (16 in Strength 10 in Agility). But for some reason I’m taking damage when I shoot. I’ll try another bow once I get home from work today to see if I still have this issue.
Thanks for your response though.
