I was told by a German friend that made the archery team in his homeland. He had to shoot a longbow, with no sights and no mechanical release. The percentage of archers who could hunt that way with accuracy would be a fraction of the total " true" modern archers.

I' ll stick with my crossbow. Practice with it before the season and make sure it' s sighted in. Then I' ll follow all the limitations of bow hunting when I use it to try to ensure a clean kill. The people who don' t do that with a crossbow, won' t do it with a rifle or a bow. It isn' t the firearm/bow it' s the person using it.
