With melee weapons we have tons of variety and sidegrades.
With bows we have a short series of effectively straight upgrades aside from very low tier bows, for bows usable on horseback.
Every new character, the same progression - I'm going to go from starting bow -> nordic -> heavy recurve -> steppe war bow -> noble.
The noble bow also makes foot bows and the perk allowing us to use them on horseback arguably obsolete for main character use, due to its higher accuracy/projectile speed and allowing you to take the deep quivers perk.
I think it would be nice if a few of the lower tier bow models were used for stronger variants somewhere in the ranges of ~60-80 damage to fill some gaps in as well as offer some alternative aesthetics to the higher tier bows. I've always like the Nordic but it's obsolete in very short order.
