We have different techniques from our different bases of learning, but hunting and target shooting are both a valid basis for Archery skill (which has no parenthetical).

Oh and I agree with re-enactment for some weapons - not many people are going hunting with a long sword.
And black powder hunting is a very challenging way to hunt - I know people who do it just for that reason. Not because they want to act like Daniel Boone or a Civil War soldier. Hope the new version is more open to black powder arms and the like as weapons that would be encountered with some details.
