My .177 air rifle is louder than my .22 rifle. Point the .22 straight up with nothing to echo off & it goes “Psst!”
A compound bow firing an arrow with strings fastened to it might well be undetectable. Tangle the drone & bring it down.
I shot a deer just day before yesterday with my .177 air rifle. From 30 feet it was impossible to miss. The deer ran away. I hope it stays away from wifey’s green beans. She goes into a terrible rant denouncing the deer eating her pride and joy green beans
Saw a video once of a guy using a 12 ga. to shoot a length of broomstick dragging a line across a river. The line was then used to pull a rope across. IIRC, they simply cut a shell open and dumped the shot out then loaded it and seated the broomstick into the cup.
.22 shorts are subsonic. They won’t set off the shot spotters that triangulate where the shots are fired from.
