Welcome to Bow Charger!
This resource pack changes the textures of the bow and crossbow to make the charging stages more striking. And because these textures are also used by Skeletons, Pillagers, and thus other players, you will have an advantage by knowing if they are trying to shoot at you!
Bow Charger is integrated in a different resource pack called Minimal Combat which adds more PVP related tweaks like smaller swords and tools, GUI tweaks and rainbow enchanting glint. So if you want more combat related tweaks, give that resource pack a try!

Shout-out to Baruch who made the resource pack Bow Load Indicator
The textures in this resource pack were largely inspired by his work. He inspired me to start making resource packs in general after I helped him fix a bugged texture (which in the end was caused by a compatibility issue, not by his resource pack), and being kind and helpful along the way!
Definitely check his resource pack and user profile out, and maybe you will find your next favorite resource pack there ;)
