Yep. If you pick up bow hunting, you're almost guaranteed to become a better gun hunter. The margins for error in hunting technique (not to mention marksmanship) are so much smaller with a bow, that when you switch over to gun hunting it feels so much easier. Plus you get to hunt the peak of the rut with a bow (where I am anyway), whereas with a gun it's already past peak. Also, there are fewer hunters, a longer season, and better weather. And of course, it feels far more rewarding when you get one with a bow (I also hunt with a gun, so I'm confident in saying a gun is far easier).
If I had to choose, I'd grab a bow every time.
