Bow would make more sense for hunting then a sling shot. Also time period wise bows have more accuracy then guns as rifled barrels aren't about yet (or common at least, they show up during the revolutionary war as favorites for the minute men). Anyway just what I was thinking.

They are only more "accurate" if someone has used them extensively. You can teach someone how to shoot decently within a few days.

accuracy of bow would fit in well with how much you have in hunting and hideworking.

Its been over a year since I brought this up, and blowguns have showed up since then. Should be fairly easy to implement. I look forward to seeing this In next patch.
