Because how far do you think archery is gonna get you in a Minnesota BLM/AntiFa looting/riot situation when not if, but when they decide to pull another stunt, and think about if next time they don't stop with businesses they come for your home and everything you own. Don't think it can happen, stand by.
Agreed, reality always win
Archery may have a role in hunting (being quiet) but you dont have the same range of a rifle, so....
It really depends if you are "having fun" ar doing serious business...
Don't get me wrong, Archery has it's place in society, i think its a great hobby and way to sharpen you dexterity skills and is quiet calming in a way also, i remember learning that in high school back when we actually learned things worth going to school for.
but you dont have the same range of a rifle, so...
Also no stopping power. There are accounts throughout history of men being "feathered" with arrows, literally shot so many times that they look like they have feathers... but they continue to fight for quite some time before succumbing to the wounds.
People usually die from arrow wounds after a battle. They have them removed, tearing out their insides and causing immense bleeding- or breaking bones (like ribs) which leads to marrow seeping into the blood, often leading to a deadly fever.
I'd also question the "shock" factor of being shot at by arrows. It's probably not likely that an arrow will knock a grown man on his ass. A rifle round to the belly does. It's also quite frightening even if you miss- the target will hear the whip-crack sound of bullets zipping by.

While I'm not arguing that even a 120 pound bow would have the stopping power of most bullets I think armor may also have played a part in that. Almost everything except an iron plate will be penetrated by an arrow, but the depth of penetration will be far less on someone wearing mail and gambeson than it would be on unarmored flesh.
There are broadheads that do more damage then a twelve guage.
Or ability to reload, really it is the quality of the person over anything the person is using. Rittenhouse cleared a jam in his rifle sitting prone.
Even hunting though, serious business is trapping and snaring. I like archery and it’s a fun hobby but archery is done by men with already full stomachs. Even back in the medival days the knights would go on hunts as part of a ceremonial duty, it wasn’t a constant day to day job for sustenance, that’s what serfs and farming was for. I’m not a history buff and I’m just speaking generally but that’s my understanding
That depends,can I pick my spot on top of a building?
Think of it; a sniper,with a bow&arrow! Zero sound & a little accuracy,could devastate some motherfuckers!
It's viable for hunting. Get a nice crossbow to hunt with, an AR-15 for nigger hordes.
