In the last level of TDP (The Maw), there is that long bridge that one must cross using a series of criss-crossing shadows - with a rat-man (or ape-beast or whatever) at the end of the bridge.
I thought I'd distract the rat man by shooting arrow just behind him, so he wouldn't be looking my way, and I'd make a mad dash across the bridge. Well, I pulled back my bow, and aimed really high (as it is quite a long bridge!) and let the arrow fly. I then waited patiently for the rat-man to walk away in search of the noise, but he never moved. Curious, I zoomed in with my bow, and saw that I actually had hit him, and he was lying dead on the ground! He had been so far away that I couldn't tell without zooming in whether he was standing or lying down. (admittedly on low resolution screen, but still...)
It would have been all the more sweet if I'd actually intended to hit him, instead of shooting behind him, but I'll take it anyway.
So that's my best shot - what's yours?

Not my best shot but in Thief Deadly Shadows I was hiding watching two gaurds talk about thier daily lives. Moaning about this and that, I pulled back the bow and shot an arrow right into one of the guards face's mid sentance :ebil: he screamed and fell down dead. His mate started screaming "murder" and all that so I leapt from the shadows threw a flashbomb and used the dagger on his head until he fell down... Then all was silent again....
But grats on the shot mate! I bet you were like "WOW"

Thanks. I was indeed "like 'WOW'."

:D I know thief is a die hard stealth game but sometimes making garret go on a serial killer style rampage can be fun...
Or is it just me?

well i cant recall my bestshot or if i did one xP, theres been a while since i played TDP and the metal age, but one of the moves i did and i liked it was in TDP in hard mode, in the return to the cathedral theres a library i think, and there was 2 haunts inside (the hammerites with skull face and a sword) ,and those things were thoug for me those days but i managed to kill them both at the same time with the sword =P, it was cool a combination of blocking and atacking with they both chargin me at the same time, i didnt take any damage >< well it was kinda like a el Zorro fight hehe ,it was cool

I was playing LotP (the part where you walk across that really thin beam and Garrett whispers "careful")
If you look there is a guard patroling on the ground below.
To test my bow skills I quicksaved, readied my bow, and jumped off of the beam. I let loose my arrow on the fall down and just before I hit the ground...
*thunk*
Down goes the guard.
Ever since then, I've come to think I'm either very skilled with the bow or at least very lucky.
Most likely the latter... :p

In mission one you can lob arrows over the high wall at the three front gate guards. I even hit one once. It won't kill them just piss them off though.

In Thief:Gold at the mages tower, I messed up and ended up with what seemed like every guard on the level chasing me around the courtyard - I spun about for a snap-shot with a gas arrow, and took out not only five of the guards with that one shot, it took out the torch next to them putting the remining three into 'search' mode - so I ran up and blackjacked them while they were searching.
One shot I got really good at was shooting out the mines. A lot of times it would seem (especially in TDP) the hammer-haunts would circle around a mine without setting it off - those buggers are actually pretty hard to hit since they blend into the terrain so well... (another thing in DS that bugs me - who the hell is NOT going to notice THOSE?!? But then the weapons are all messed up in that one)
