bow hunting
Primitive weapon pursuit
Bow hunting is the practice of hunting game animals using a bow and arrow rather than firearms.
It requires greater skill and proximity to prey than rifle hunting, and many jurisdictions have separate bow hunting seasons that typically begin earlier than gun seasons.
Practitioners often pursue deer, elk, turkey, and other game, using compound bows, recurve bows, or crossbows depending on local regulations.
