Theres still a few other issues thoughFirst bows require a lot of frigging training, where with muskets/rifles you can gather some citizens and give them a few weeks worth of training.And second, with a decent industrial base its relatively easy to produce muskets/rifles.

You're forgetting crossbows. In a woodland, it may be cheaper just to make crossbows with the smaller bolts, than a bow and arrows, or a gun and gunpowder/blackpowder and a ball.
