well idecided to go for 2nd option, i would have only nomad bow, which is quite weak but i would have 5 instead of 4 HA and 2 morw weapon masteri was going to suggest a different build, but i guess since you dont care for dmg...that's the one. if you plan on heirlooming lots of arrows, i would go with bodkin, just so u can at least support your team better. also, i recommend buying a secondary weapon like a katana just in case your off the horse or if you're facing another HA
so i prefer accuracy over dammage, couse its better for the team if you wound 25 and prevent them from swinging and possibly wounding yout teammates, then killing 5
but im not sure what will i heitloom after retirement, my nomad bow or arrows, im thinking since 3x heirloomed nomad bow gices only +3 to dammage, ill heirloom khergit arrows, they do more dammage and incrise in ammo.

yea thats what i have in mind heirlooming arrows, and instead of katana i have nomad sabre (looks better)If you really want to nobody is stopping you. But keep in mind that since you're not gonna have many WPF/Skill points left over b/c of your HA build, you might want to use fast swords with a longer length and more damage as well e.g Katana (bit costly though).
Is the Sarranid a better choice than the Courser for Horse archery?Since the only thing better is the horse maneuver, I would say no. Although a HA does need high maneuver, I would just stick with the Steppe Horse if thats your only reason to choose it over the Courser. The Courser can take more damage, and is faster for quicker escapes.
What are the best stats to pick in order to do really good on horse archery?You're going to need the Power Draw, Horse Archery, Riding, and Weapon Master. For attributes, you're going to need at least 12 Str (Khergit bow) or 15 Str (Strong bow, a bit more dmg) and stacking Agility in order to get HA, Riding, and the WM skills high.
Watch your back-right side, 45 degree angle is where you can't shoot, I believe.Actually, in-game Ive seen that I can turn almost 90 degrees on the left while mounted...weird
Thanks for your reply. I have a bit of money saved up now. Would it be more worth it to just buy one of the more expensive horses? The destrier seems fairly well built although slow.I wouldn't say so with the current upkeep system. I would go with the Courser once you reach the higher levels e.g 25-30 in order for you to be able to aim more accurately while on it and so you can earn more money to sustain it.
@Elite Dragon...are there any places where there are pre-stacked stats?Check here (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,130.90.html). Although keep in mind that many of the builds don't work as well after the patch. You might have to give/take some things to adapt to the level 30 soft cap.
