Bows are great, but are limited in terms of distance. My last two game kills were more than 200 yards away. If I had been hunting with a bow, I'd be out of luck. If you're not short on funds, a suppressor might be an option.

A deer can be taken down at 200 yards with a bow, there is even people who shoot up to 250 yards, I'd recommend at least 75lb bows for that though.

as for supressors you need to license them in many states which some people just don't like doing because you do not need a license to own or shoot a rifle.

Good thing it wasn't a gun?

If I had no choice but to choose between a bullet or an arrow throw my arm assuming the arrow had a broad head, id choose the bullet, now if the arrow had a bullet point then ehh smaller wound that way.

True, I still have a huge bruise on my arm when I shot my first shotgun. It was like 2 weeks ago.

12 guage?

Those damn things do bruise a person up there first couple times shooting. It's pretty hilarious though.
