It isn't really practical in a world where guns exist in my opinion

Put a wooden arrow through a vampires heart. Just as good as a stake if you ask me. You don't really have that option with a gun, same goes for werewolves. Just swap the arrow head for a silver version. With a gun the bullet has to be low calibur or you run the risk of the silver being dispersed before impact. Conceivably the only thing I could see a bow being less effective on than a gun as far as the super natural are concerned is maybe a ghoul or a spirit and in the later case gun wins cause you can load rock salt into a shotgun shell. so by the look of it Bow 2 Gun 1. So im with Eddie I don't see an issue

I know my vampires Buffy, Dracula, Thirty Days of Night, Salem's lot, Blade, Van Helsing, Vampire the Masquerade and Requiem, as well as dozens of other mythological appearances of vampires or vampire like creatures (asanbosam, mandurango, ect.) hell i've even read twilight (Not that those are really vampires), Hence my characters use of a shotgun. Get close enough and 12 guage will take a head right off. However, and this purely because Eddie pointed out he's drawing on Bram stoker's Dracula, wood to the heart typically works. Which you really can't fire from a gun XD The silver was reference to werewolves typical weakness but we could go back and forth on werewolves for days too. But in conclusion: Yes I absolutely agree stylistically I'd have gone with the crossbow too.

Sounds good to me, although I always love hearing more info on various myths. But in the end I do believe it's Eddies call. You're incredibly knowledgeable that's really cool it's been a while since I've met someone as informed as you. I'd have to say that my knowledge base largely lies in variations on the theme of the Vampire including and after Stoker's Dracula. His version of the vampire has always really spoken to me as far these things go. And laugh all you want but my favorite version of a werewolf actually comes from Jim Butchers Dresden File: Fool Moon. Infact my avatar is actually that particular book's cover. And for clarities sake its the Loup Garou Butcher presents in the novel since there are actually something like six different types of "werewolves" that appear in the book.
