Very, as fire arms and ammo are already hard enough to access, Note that in George Stewarts PA novel EARTH ABIDES that even in American society in time it is believed that eventually archery and similar skills will supercede guns because of the technology and energy requires to make, sustain and feed them. In that classic novel rolls of dimes and 1/4 dollars became precious because they could be beaten into Arrow Heads.

I figure a roll of polyester yarn or whatever modern bow strings are made of will become as valuable as gold, as will alloy tubing.

In the New world the skills of the archer and bowyer will make them as rich and influential as hell.
