bowhunter
Primitive weapon hunter
A bowhunter is someone who hunts game with a bow and arrow rather than firearms.
Bowhunting requires getting closer to prey than rifle hunting and has its own seasons and regulations.
He's been a bowhunter since his father taught him to shoot a compound bow at twelve.
