It never hurts to be decent with a bow. My dad wants to teach me how to use one since he says he's pretty badass with one. He says those fancy ones are for pussies though so I wouldn't be surprised if he wants me to make one with a stick and some string.
Personally I prefer my guns, much easier to use, and I'm damn good with them.
Bows are still cool though.
Yeah but here you have to have proof of where you're hunting.
You can't just say "for hunting purposes" and they say "yeah that's cool, even though you live in NYC".
My Dad gave up his guns a while back simply because the rules became a pain.
You need a proper gun locker (fixed to floor or wall) and other conditions.
Even air rifles, crossbows and knives (smaller knives are ok) are controlled by laws here.
Bows are the only thing that isn't.
Spoiler warning:
Wow, I didn't know that.
Oh, Really? What do you like to do?
Aww, I'm sorry.
