If you are going to do some screen archery in Skyrim I would suggest disabling the menu/UI so you don't have it mucking things up.
Just press the console command key '~' and type in 'tm' = toggle menu. Take out the quotes. Press the console command key again to resume from the pause.
Also a helpful console command is 'tfc' = toggle free camera. Allows you to go about the game world and setup great angles. Type it again to disable it and position the camera in the default orientation.
Just some tips.

Na.
Currently using NLA.
NLA = Natural Lighting and Atmospherics ENB.
It is like Sharpshooters ENB but the lighting is way more realistic IMHO.
I also just use the weather plugin that it comes with. I don't much like using Climates of Tamriel all that much (due to incompatibilities with so many other lighting mods) anymore so I just use the NLA plugin with other ENBs.
Serenity is really good for screenarchery though. If you are looking for a similar one to that Insomnia ENB is pretty neat as well.
I'd recommend both though I think Insomnia has a slightly lesser performance hit where as Serenity can hit your system pretty hard in its vanilla state without any tweaking.

Are any of those better performance wise than the original Sharpshooter?
Serenity is probably the most demanding ENB preset out there. It will REALLY hit your system. Default settings have every possible effect; SSAO, DOF, Lens Flare, etc on and they are set to high per the mod authors recommended settings. Of course you can toggle AO/DOF off to gain some additional frames but that is really up to you. Even the performance version of Serenity is heavier than Sharpshooters.
That said, NLA is also a heavy hitter with every effect toggled on but it isn't as intense as Serenity. I would say that NLA probably falls somewhere performance wise as better than Serenity and slightly better than Sharpshooters if we are going by per performance. Of course that is negating any other mods that you have (like the Skyrim Flora Overhaul) that might hit your system and make your frames plummet.
All the performance hungry effects can be tweaked in the enbseries.fx settings but the visual compromise might not be worth it. I know with AO off people have seen gains of 10+ frames so it really is up to you. For me personally with Serenity vanilla I was getting 55-40 fps and I was fine with that. When DOF/AO was toggled off or lessened I would jump back up to ~60+.
Insomnia is like Serenity but uses I think an older version of the enb.dev0.2xx d3d9.dll so it isn't as hard on your system as Serenity. I would say try each version out and see what fits.

Thanks so much TLT.
Sharpshooter looks and runs like a champ on my current setup. But I'm always interested in some of the newer enb's. And your screens look freaking incredible.

Yeah no problem and thanks.
If you want a really good ENB that is fairly light on performance and looks fantastic though you could always go with the classic RealVision ENB.
Just throwing that out there.
I wanted to try that. But it kept saying that the mod came in two parts (a & b) and I could never get it working for some reason.
Option A is if you are using a particular lighting mod already (and if you are not it is recommended by the mod author that you use it). Option B is if you are using a different lighting mod.
I know with realvision the mod author built it around using either RLO (Realistic Lighting Overhaul) or EFX (Enhanced lighting and FX). You need to install either RLO or EFX THEN install the correct version of RealVision that supports that particular lighting mod.
In the files section where you download there is a description of which version supports which lighting mod.
NLA ENB has hands down the best lighting of any enb I've ever tried! It actually looks realistic.
