I saw that same episode. Instantaneously shooting with the gun is ridiculous. A week or so ago I saw a grizzly hunt where the guy with the bow hit the bear like 2 feet back from the vitals, almost in the rear hip. The guide immediately dispatched the obviously wounded but not soon to be dying bear with his rifle, which seems like the obviously right move to me. This deal with blasting the lion and buffalo pretty much before the arrow even gets there is just stupid. It's not like people don't take lion and buffalo (well, at least buffalo) with a bow on a regular basis.
