I went back and tried the Huntsman's bow. Wow... slow draw time is painful. That seems off. Accuracy is okay. I know from the Wiki there's a calculation that improves accuracy with draw time.

If I remember correctly the huntsman's bow is the only bow in the game with a "hidden stat".

It does not reveal your position to enemies when fired (i.e. silenced)

The devs were reported so dejected by the fact that this was so unknown and underappreciated by the player base that they have little interest in adding "hidden" stats to future items and weapons. But I think they are bluffing.
