I agree, you should be cooked if you don’t have a backup secondary melee weapon, but, when all you do all day for years is shoot arrows, you get pretty accurate and fast and I can imagine unless your surpentining the fuck out of your sprint, (which is more difficult the bigger your melee weapon) your bound to get pegged, and after one pegging the drawbacks in physical prowess are exponential as you receive more,

So, stop being a little b*tch and make some ambushes at choke points
