Have you ever wounded an animal and not been able to recover it?
If the answer is 'No' then you have not done much.
Equipment can malfunction and errors be made, same as with rifles.
The accuracy and lethality of a modern compound bow or crossbow within 50-70 yards, along with expanding broadheads on carbon arrows, cannot be questioned. An arrow or bolt shot from 60lbs+ and over 400 grains will plough through 'bullet-proof' glass or kevlar vests.
What archery does require is a lot of practise and fine tuning. I still hold national records and have won national championships with a compound bow, but have not shot one in about 8 years due to work commitments.
Would I pick one up tomorrow and go bowhunting if was legal in the UK? No. Would I start shooting arrows again? Yes.
Piss off you wanker.
How many deer have you hit in the back with a Rifle and had run off?
