[QUOTE="testlight, post: 2322211, member: 26301"] I would say that the handgun equivalent of a bow at close range is probably a 38 special or 357. At long range for a bow it's very difficult for most people to hit anything but the arrow maintains its lethality as long as you can in fact hit your target. Whereas a handgun bullet is generally moving very slow at longer range. I would say an arrow is more like a 44 special 45 Long Colt at long range. At some point an arrow just has such a poor trajectory that about any pistol will overtake it. As a side note can you kill a deer with a headshot using an arrow? I'm thinking it's a very bad idea. (Really don't know) With a pistol it's very doable with the right platform appropriate range and lots of practice. P.S. .44 Magnum with soft point ammo is absolutely on a different level than a bow or a 10 mm. In my experience. [/QUOTE]
