Shoot bows faster by drawing faster

This actually isn't as farfetched as it may seem. The {NoGravity} tag can be applied to any entity, including arrows, and we can use this to make poorly charged arrows travel farther.

Here's how:

• Firstly, we need to make a "Ranger" team. This will be useful for targeting and executing and such. /scoreboard teams add Ranger Make sure that all "Ranger" players are put on this team

• Now we need to turn off Friendly Fire. You will see why in a second /scoreboard teams option Ranger friendlyFire false

Now on to the actual execution:

• As soon as a bow is fired from a Ranger, set the entitydata of the arrow. Execute to all Ranger classes this command on as fast of a clock possible: /execute @a[team=Ranger] ~ ~ ~ entitydata @e[type=arrow,r=3] {NoGravity:1} This will make all arrows that spawn within 3 blocks of a Ranger (which are most likely shot from the Ranger) have no gravity.

• Now that your arrow won't fall, we need to make it go faster! On the very next tick after you turn off gravity, execute this command with a conditional chain command block: /execute @a[team=Ranger] ~ ~ ~ summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {Team:"Ranger",ignited:1,Fuse:0} This will summon a creeper that instantly explodes, propelling the arrow. However, it will not hurt the Ranger because it is on the same team as them.

Here's a visual:
