Expectations when hunting with bows.

[bigpaul]

there will be times post TSHF when you wont want to hunt with an air rifle because any noise may give away your position to groups you may be trying to avoid, but you still need to go hunting to put meat on the table, this is where a bow will come into its own.

Unfortunately, the quietest bow capable of killing at more than 20 yards makes far more noise than a spring charged air rifle fitted with a cheap suppressor.

you must have a flipping noisy bow then! thats all i can say, my air rifles are more noisy than my bow string any day.
