Yep. Bows are silent and deadly.
Consider the equipment most hunters have - camo, binoculars, radios, 4wd vehicles and ATVs, tools, survival gear, all in addition to their compound bows and crossbows, shotguns, rifles and pistols (and lots of ammo).
Proggies sure seem to be itching for a fight.
“Bows are silent and deadly.”
No, they are not. They make one heck of a thwaaaack sound that can be heard loud and clear, not to mention the arrow hitting something ain’t quiet, so you only would get at most one shot off before you are discovered.
