Bowhunting is much more difficult for many reasons. I bet I could take out someone thats never hunted before to one of my properties, hand him a shotgun, BP or rifle and odds are they could take a deer fairly easily. The chances of me handing my bow to the same guy or girl andthem going out the first time ever, and killing a deer would drop drastically. Regardless of how good a shot you are with a bow or gun, having a weapon with a scope you can use against a rest, requiresless movement overall,requires less strength when its freezing out, has optics that enhance shooting at dusk where some bowhunting peeps reduce vision at dusk, that can get out anywhere from 100 yards with a shotgun, to several hundred yards with a rifle, and can fire multiple rounds in a second seems like a no brainer to me.
