The bow is a bit hard to use, but during the siege of Talmberg I just rode onto the northern pallisade and sniped the guards on the wall. So I wonder if archery from horseback is more accurate maybe. The reason why I sat on a horse was because it gives me a bit more height, so I can actually see the guards for longer.
It’s a pretty big distance yet it was quite easy, and my archery skill isn’t even that high.
If that was unclear, I meant from here, not the palisade of the fortified village.
I screenshotted when the arrow landed to clarify, it’s that white stripe.

Thought the movie American sniper was about a us marine … Lol but you take the cake here budd nice shots
I don’t think it’s very impressive, I really meant it when I said it’s surprisingly easy.
I suggest you try it and you’ll see how easy it really is.
I can honestly say I suck with the bow. xD
I thought so too (of myself), but it’s really easy from horseback. Just try it and you’ll see.

I will! I’ll try it right now (got a couple of hours before the Master of the Universe, or my significant other, arrives)!
Not meaning to be a dig at the game, but I am sincerely surprised that distanced allowed drawing of the characters and calculated the arrow hit - but awesome shots! I’m excited to go try it. I’ve been meandering and exploring, slowly gathering armor and weapons, have a bit over 1k finally in my pocket 
and just been enjoying the small things.
Do you mind sharing your build? Type of bow, arrow, archery skill level?
Archery skill was at 5, so very low.
I used the Yew Longbow (the biggest baddest bow available) and the better long distance arrows (those with 120 dmg).
Strength was 19, and agility was 14 I think, those may be important too.
There are 3 guards total patrolling the walls during the siege and I had to hit each twice to kill them.
One of the guards patrols the close side, one patrols the right side (from where I’m looking) and one patrols the far side and can only be seen when he comes around the corner on the right side, the timing for those has to be quite accurate, but the aim still isn’t too hard.
The shot in the screen-cap wasn’t aimed at anyone, since they were already dead, that was just clarification.
The distance could be because I have maximum draw distance.
