Funny, I'm always happy when I get to the point when I can craft the huntsman bow. To me the throwback, small amount of dmg as well as the way better accuracy/aim is absolutely worth it. If you should happen to craft both of them, try shooting the same target like 10 times each, the difference is actually noticeable. With the FW bow i try to shoot something, pointing at the same spot and the arrows just won't hit that spot often times. But then again, I'm a heavy bow-user and always around 40-50 in that skill when I enter the swamps. And after 50 it just gets WAY better and easier as you can stagger enemies quite often.
