Well as with ANY hunting (including the wannabe snipers who wound big game at 1000 yards with their stupid "tactical" rifle), bowhunting does require more ability than a 100 yard rifle shot off a BiPod.
Since I shoot a long bow, with wooden arrows, real feathers, broadheads I sharpen and no sights, I shoot about 200 arrows per week as the skill is easily lost. My self imposed range limit is 25 yards, so it is hunting, not potting an unsuspecting animal at 600 yards.
BTW ALL the "bowhunting" wounded big game I have seen were either shot with those GD crossbows or those mechanical monsters with cams, tiny arrows and fancy sights. Almost always a function of shooting too far. Again, trying to substitute technology for hunting ability.
I'm still waiting to meet the Elk, Deer or Antelope that you can't get closer to than 600 yards.
