Larger problem not RS related perhaps, delete when needed.

I want to start by saying i love the mods, and ive enjoyed every release so far without exception.
However recently after installing the Bosmer addition ive been suffering some odd shutdowns of Oblivion.
When it first happened, i was unsure of the direct cause so i tested again and again on a few diff areas and people and when i couldnt replicate the accident i thought nothing more of it.
And then it hit me again and i realized what had changed.
I had gotten a Springsteel bow off a bosmer bandit(who gave me quite a beating with it and those arrows) and then the next time i quicksaved or the game autosaved it crashed out.
Having a clue to what may be the cause i have since tested it out and have the following to report.
The bow itself does seem to be the cause of the crashes. None of the actual bosmer swords seemed to be affected at all in a similar fashion.
The crash only seems to occur after a killing of a target with the bow. I tested it just with the bow in the inventory not used, the bow hotfixed not used, etc. In citys and out. When i walked outside of Bruma to test it again, killed a bandit, quicksaved and crash out.
The arrows used doesnt seem to matter, i did this with plain old iron arrows.
I of course thought of some other weapon mod conflict(though i use hardly any but the real collection and some sword mods), but only had a few arrow/bow related mods that i then turned off to no effect.
I noticed a mention of OOO having a slight conflict? Due to the way the npc lists work and such. But really i have no idea.
I can give a more detailed list of running mods as desired, but i was wondering my options?
A clean re-install of the files will be in order of course regardless to settle anything, but just laying this out in case it helps.
Addendum:
With more testing it seems ALL the bows in my game are causing this shutdown. Very odd, but i think in no way related to the Bosmer add on i hope. Did a full reinstall of the bosmer just before and still had the shutdown with the bosmer bows, but if this is some error for every bow in the game...then im at a loss.
You may close/delete this whenever the proper mods find it.
