A qualified bowman can put out about 12 arrows, possibly even more, in a minute. And modern day bows have sights built onto them. Well, I suppose that works just fine then. But that's about 1 every five seconds. In that five seconds, assuming the person misses, the other guy can A. flee or B. return fire. Add on time to aim and any fumbles from the archer and that leaves them vulnerable.

Does work well as a first strike weapon or for stealth against isolated targets, though.
