Sneak behind him and do a sneak attack with your bow, which should take him to the ground, but he can’t die. Sigrid should stay downstairs, so go upstairs and wait for Hadvar go to upstairs as well. Bring a bunch of cheap arrows, and go to their house after 8am, Alvor should be out of the house. Remember Hadvar from the beginning of the game? He lives in Riverwood in Alvor & Sigrid’s house. They want you to hit him with a sword, so if you stock up as many cheap arrows as you can, you can keep shooting him over and over, and he’ll just keep telling you to use a sword. When you first join the Companions in Whiterun, they will take you outside to duel another member. There are several opportunities in the game to continually shoot NPC’s that can’t die. I have some tips that can help speed up the process to get some Archery skill points quicker than you normally would.

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, Archery can be rather slow to level while you’re out adventuring.
