No, the greatest hunters are those that can do both, as well as knock down birds with a shotgun.

As far a wounding an animal, and whether one needs to get close or not, one of the foremost experts (TJ Conrads) on bowhunting with traditional bows, the epitome of your hallowed primitive weapons, says that a traditional bowhunter's maximimum range is the range at which that bowhunter can reliably place an arrow in the vitals 8 out of 10 times. I have no idea what's J. Burn's failure rate is, but I'd be willing to bet it's less than 20%.


A wise man is frequently humbled.
