Take away the instant firing loads the modernML now uses.....and the scopes....and we're getting "closer" to being "comparable". I hear people talk about iron sights and flintlocks and a 60yd shot being the top end.....and I can somewhat relate to them.
The modern ML "comparable" to bowhunting, though? No way.
Ah yes, but is the modern bow equivalent in its own right to the modern muzzleloader? I think so.
Definitely not even close IMO. The modern bow is certainly a marvel in technology, but the effective range has not really increased that much over "old" bows.
