It is, a bit. Though the barrels are interesting -- we have to get the metal on while it's hot so it'll hold onto the wood.
The hunting's kind of split. Some people use a bow, but others use guns. It's very loud--I'm not sure how they manage to get anything done without scaring off all the game.
It can't be any good for the meat or the pelt if they're being shot at.
[ Just going by the way the Finger of God destroyed Nebakov (don't think about it, don't think about it) then even a tiny bullet would cause a far bigger wound than an arrow. ]
I'm sure you're showing them all off with that bow of yours.

[ amazing what technological improvements can do. ]
I'm perfectly fine with a bow, though.

[ Henry can both talk him up and tease him a bit, that's the power of being his best friend/page/it's complicated. ]
