There was a book I found called Test Pilot. It's a bunch of stories written by (you guessed it!) a test pilot in the 20s-30s who had a side job writing his tales for a newspaper between jobs. Great read!
One time he was hired on by the Navy to do dive testing, which laid the groundwork for dive bombers and divebombing techniques. g suits weren't a thing so his vision constantly blacked out each time, and sometimes he had to reach 9g on the pullouts! He wrote that the changes in air pressure and gs were great for hang overs.
Today's pilots are cool but these guys were a different breed
Bows take strength to use and are also harder to be consistent with. The way you nock the arrow on the string, keeping constant pull while aiming and inconsistencies in the arrows all play a part. Rifles aren't nearly as bad as long as you have good fundementals.
Ballistics are a big deal with ranged weapons. Arrows don't go very far or very fast so you really need to know how the arrow will arc and account for that as you aim. The farther the shot the more wind, drop etc will have to be factored into your aim. Elevation matters too if you're on a hill or in a tree stand or something.
I'm going to make up a number but let's say 50 yards would be a tough shot for a bow to hit something consistently. For a rifle that is no problem and most rifle bullets' paths won't start to arc or get blown by wind significantly until it has travelled several hundred yards.
I find that long range shooting with a bolt action "feels" roughly the same as shooting archery. You really need to focus and make sure you're doing everything right for good results. But that also makes it that much more satisfying when you do well!
One article I read put it this way- The appeal of James Bond is that he has enough skill to handle himself in any situation. Competence is his superpower
It doesn't matter if he is playing high stakes poker or being in a gunfight. Skiiing or ordering a drink. Using high tech gadgets or driving a classic sports car. Going to a formal party or swimming at night in SCUBA gear to get there. He can do it all and look cool doing it
The movies are still way too over the top for me but from that lens I can understand the character
Shadows of doubt feels similar to old school Deus Ex. $30 normal price, so wait for a sale.
You run around a dark rainy city as an ex cop turned freelance detective.
Take up small side jobs, break into buildings, make phone calls, buy coffee, listen to jazz in your apartment, read about a murder in the paper, sneak into a bloody crime scene to gather clues, hack computers, make a tangled conspiracy board, drink stolen alcohol until you're staggering down alleys, have crazed monologues, get an epiphany, track down a suspect, accuse them of murder, arrest them, close the case, find out they were innocent after all, repeat
Good, glad it's getting some main stream attention. If more people start taking advantage of these settings and alternatives it's going to hurt Meta's bottom line eventually
