Is there a Bow that does not clip through my female characters head?

I'm surprised that they haven't fixed this issue yet. Is there a bow I can use that does not clip through her head?

EDIT**

Okay so I have tried every female race and the issue is always the same. The only bow that does not clip through their heads is the starter bow you get from the create when you first create a character or any bows of that same style. If you want a good looking bow to match any of your styles, none of them work. The closest bow that I have found I can tolerate is the Silken Bow. It does clip through my head when running but from behind it is not as noticeable.

The issue is that they have placed the bows so close to the female characters body.

The male characters, the bow is much farther away from their body.

This is pretty serious for breaking immersion.

    Pics? Are you just talking about the hair clipping or the actual head?

    The actual head. EVERY female character I make.

    Weird. I don't have this problem with my bosmer.

    Female running animation causes that. Pretty much any bow will stick to some or another degree.

    The only bow I had a real problem with was the Bloodforge motif style, went straight through the skull, especially when using the duchess personality and and if she turned her head at all. The rest on my female characters seem fine. I'm using Dreadhorn at the moment and it seems okay but my bosmer is very short, and the Maelstrom bow but that seems fine too.

    That picture makes all the difference showing the issue. It would be a good idea to add it to the original post.

    Many things clip in the game, and that is one of the more pronounced examples.

    I am "wearing" long corn rows as hair style - this makes the clipping less painful.

    This^

    My hair, costumes, staves, and bows clip constantly. It’s terrible design but by now I’ve just learned to deal with it.

    Wow, that comparison of the bow placement for male and female toons says a lot. Thanks for the images.

    I’ve never seen a console player get picky over clipping. It must be a pc thing to scrutinize the character shape like it’s a sculpture by Michelangelo. I remember someone complaining on the forum over flower stems clipping through each other, something that couldn’t even be seen without loading the item into some wireframe model program. Smh.

    I guess I just haven't noticed before. Maybe I wasnt looking at her head or something.

    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    Rather update the most recent thread on the topic rather than create a new thread. But yes I've just unfortunately noticed this error leveling up my bow/bow character and eventually going from basic racial bows into the more extravagant/larger ones. Its ludicrous how many of these larger/cool-looking bows stabs through my character's face/head whenever she runs.

    And it's not just bows, either. Many shields are so close to my character's back that they clips with her butt and her shoulderpads at the same time, and she doesn't even have to run.
    It is purely cosmetic and it probably irks me more than it realistically should, but still, wouldn't mind if they messed with the rigging just a tiny bit. Then again, they probably have more pressing issues to solve (like making sure crown costumes don't get released with parts clipping into each other) ;)
