archery hunting
Hunting with bows
Archery hunting is hunting game with a bow and arrow rather than firearms.
Most jurisdictions designate separate archery seasons, typically earlier than gun seasons, offering hunters more time in the field and less competition.
The practice requires closer range to prey than rifle hunting, demanding greater stealth and woodcraft: He took up archery hunting for the added challenge.
