I've been thinking about hunting during two scenarios survival groups call SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) and TEOWAWKI (The End of the World as We Know It), and I'm thinking about whether I should hunt with a rifle or a bow. Both of these do have their own advantages, but they also have their own disadvantages as well. But still, I would like to hear from Archery, Firearm, and Hunting experts along with Preppers on what they recommend to hunt with when the world goes to Hell.
The rifle has been a viable hunting tool due to the variety of ammunition that suits various game and the magazine fed models contain plently of ammo before it has to reload. But the bullets aren't reusable and they can deafeningly loud if you don't have ear protection. Because if you fire a shot off, it could be like kicking a hornet's nest after a world ending disaster hits.Now even though bows don't have the capacity firearms are capable of, they are still quiet when an arrow is launched from them. As a bonus, the arrows can be reused as long as the arrow heads are resharpened and the shafts are intact. Hence that is the reason why the bow has been useful to hunters since the beginning of time. When the shit hits fan, the bow and arrow would defintely return to favor when it comes to hunting for food and to keep yourself from being discovered by potential hostiles.
So I bet you're wondering, what should you hunt with when the world as we know it comes to an end? To hunt with a gun, or hunt with a bow? If you want to keep your noiseprint as silent as possible, I would go with the bow.
