Wierd with recoils

Ok,

i was wondering if you can only have teh default 3 recoil animations,

i need a special recoil animation that only applies to one weapon (a bow) but when i call it in

staterecoil = firedArrow

nothing happens.

must i absolutly call lightRecoil, mediumRecoil, and/or heavyRecoil?


or can i have other names (which means that i am doing something horrible wrong)
