Horse Archer possible high damage build?

Strength - 21
Agility - 18

6 - Riding
3 - Horse Archery
7 - Power Draw
6 - Weapon Master
1 - Whatever, Power Strike?

156 - Archery wpf or 150 Archery and 60 Pole.

Build has alot of damage and 3 HA so not horrible on accuracy.  Would be working with MW Horn Bow and MW Bodkins.

Any experienced HA with any input, it is much appreciated. 

Been wanting to try HA for quite some time now, but the 18/18 or 15/24 builds just seem... meh.

Have you ever been a HA?
The accuracy is shit (even with 15/24, most people slow down hugely to shoot), plus you need a lot of riding to dodge enemy arrows and cav.
So this build would probably suck. You would be more like a foot archer with higher mobility but with nerfed damage from being on horseback, and you would need to be nearly stopped to shoot even close to accurately.
That said, I have not tried that build, but I used a 15/24 on an alt for a couple of gens in an alt (and sucked at it though on foot i was not too bad) and the reticle was quite big already (with 4 HA, only 5 PD, much more wpf especially those +28 from the PD difference).

Trade is about shit accuracy or shit damage.

If you wanna high damage HA build, you can make STF and try this:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 24
Agility: 15
Hit points: 65
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 3
Power Strike: 0
Shield: 0
Athletics: 0
Riding: 5
Horse Archery: 2
Power Draw: 8
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 5
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 1
Archery: 148
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

You'll have healthy archer, so you must complement this archer with durable horse, yumi and take enough arrows.
Do not expect to win archer duels, but your main targets is enemy horses at first two minutes, enemy archers at 3-4 minites and enemy infantry in the end of the round.

If you are going for a specific horse to use you can change your build for that.

For horse archer I recommend desert horse, destrier and Arabian warhorse.

Builds for this
24/15 (Destrier)
21/18 (Desert Horse)
18/21 (Arabian Warhorse)
