Different Bow Tiers

Hello everyone! I posted this idea a while ago, and decided to give it some more thought and refine the idea itself. So, here is in my idea about what should be changed about bows.

As you know, a bow is a monster hunters' best friend. It has range, packs a punch, and is very accurate. However, have you stopped an thought; "How could this be more interesting?". Ideas about making bows more interesting have been posted time and time again, but lack detail (As far as I've seen.) So let's get right into the numbers and statistics, shall we?

As the title suggests, bows need different tiers. A standard bow made with 3 sticks and 3 string is more lethal than a diamond sword, can shoot very far, and arrows are fairly easy to come by. Unlike other tools/weapons, bows do not have any other tiers. When it comes down to it they should, not only to balance the weapon itself, but for consistency's sake.

Anyway, on with the tier information...

WOOD: Crafted with the same recipe as it is now.

Damage: 2 hearts.

Fire Rate: 25% faster.

Accuracy: Maybe 25% less accurate than it is now.

Durability: 50% of the current bow.

GOLD: Crafted with 2 gold ingots, 1 stick and 3 string. Configured in the same shape. With the gold ingots on the outer part and stick in the middle, with the string configured the same way.

Damage: 3 hearts.

Fire rate: 50% faster.

Accuracy: 20% Less accurate than current bow

Durability: 25% of the current bow.

IRON: Crafted with 2 iron ingots, a stick, and 3 string in the same configuration as described above, except with iron.

Damage: 4 hearts.

Fire rate: Same as the current bow.

Accuracy: 10% Less accurate than the current bow.

Durability: 90% of the current bow.

DIAMOND: Crafted with 2 diamonds, a stick, and 3 string. In the same configuration as described above.

Damage: 6 hearts.

Fire rate: 10% slower than the current bow.

Accuracy: Same as the current bow.

Durability: 25% more durable than the current bow.

I did not include the stone tier because it did not seem applicable to the bow.

That concludes my idea, let me know what you think!
