Not to get off track but that's not necessarily true, try hunting whitetail with a revolver. Your shots are about the same distance. If you haveever practiced with a .45long colt or .44mag or even the .454 you will find out your killing range will be under 50 yards. (about the same as a compound bow)

Not that those listed rounds won't kill out to 75yd and beyond, they will. But it's not that easy to put your shots in the kill zone at those distances with a 5 1/2in barrled pistol with iron sights, and unless you have something to rest thatpistol on, you willprobably be more accurate with the bow than an offhand shot with a six shooter.

So you must play the wind the same way and if you have a deer at say 35yds and nothing to restyour pistolon, I would rather have a bow in my hands than a six shooter because the bow would be an easier shot.

Give it a try sometime if the laws in your state allow it.......you will be very much surprised at just how difficult it is.
