Power Draw: when you reach the damage cap ...

[Sordid Sinister]

I just did a little testing and it appears that the war bow reaches 100% accuracy at 10 power draw not 8.

Yes? So? I don't remember anyone saying that the war bow has 100% accuracy at PD8.

If you want to find out if you still get a penalty when on a horse while at full accuracy just start a new character as a hunter, go to training grounds, cheat 10 levels and take a bow, fire at a dummy in the chest, mount horse, fire at the dummy in chest, increase horse archery, fire again and measure the difference.

That's a valid method, but given that the game randomizes damage to a certain degree it'd require taking many shots, then averaging the results. I'd much prefer if a developer (or anyone else who knows the exact formula by which damage is calculated) could simply answer my question.

Actually the dummies get exactly the same amount of damage if you are standing still and swinging in the same direction.

Then your suggestion is useless, since archery penalties (and their subsequent reduction due to HA) are applied only when moving.
