As in bow and arrow or crossbow?

I think hunting with a bow and arrows is a lot harder than shooting something with an air rifle, and I think most bow hunting is done at fairly close range.

And whether using a bow and arrow or a crossbow, you're likely to want to go retrieve the arrow/bolt which is not a requirement when using an air rifle.
