You can see what each skill requires for you to do if you want to improve by going to the character sheet, clicking on the skill, and checking the “How to learn” area, directly above the skills’ perks. The more you use your bows, and fire from long distances, the more points and experience you’re going to receive for it. This should be the period where you lead your faction in capturing towns. Whenever you want to improve skills for your character, you need to use it more in the game. Getting several companions with good trainer skills (Shi Jin for example) will.

For example, if you have a high degree of control, your character will learn bow, crossbow, and throwing skills far more than they would if they had a lower intelligence, which means they will not learn steward, medicine, or engineering skills as quickly.

The primary trait above every skill details how easy it is for your character to learn a skill underneath its umbrella.
