I only own one centerfire...A 1980 Ruger M-77 in .243 with a Leupold VX-II 3x9x40, for whitetails it's all I need...

My bow is a 1994? vintage Mountaineer, I've killed at least 40 deer with it and I love it...I don't use a release, still shoot fingers so most of the current bows are too short, guess I'll keep it until it breaks...

But my favorite deer weapon is a .54 caliber flintock that I finished in 1990...It gives me more range than the bow and it's more challenging than a modern centerfire...
