Does horse archery also  affect shooting crossbows on horseback?

 

[MountainBlade]

Yes. Thrown weapons too.

I sure hope you're right , i don't want to increase my horse archery at 10 , when in fact it doesn't help me

How about power draw? Thats only for bows , right?

Yep. Power draw is just for bows. Power throw covers throwing and crossbows don't work with power anything. One thing I need to say however is that crossbows don't works as well from horseback. Only the lighter kinds of crossbow (hunting and light) can be used from horseback. You'd need to get off your horse to reload after every shot if you're using a heavier crossbow. (crossbow, heavy and siege). Bows tend to work much better from horse, and certainly in later levels where they outmatch crossbows in pretty much everything, including damage.

Try shooting a knight with a siege crossbow, they'll just shrug it off and run you down. I've actually added a very large damage boost to crossbows in the mod I play and bows STILL out power them.
All crossbows have on bows is range.
