As for the hunting...Elrohir and Eladan spent much time hunting in the region so I got the impression it had more to do with Aragon telling them he could supply them, but since they would be moving swiftly it might not be very much. To hunt properly requires patience and time, something they did not have. I don't ever get the impression that Aragorn was an archer of exceptional ability with the bow. The impression I got was that Faramir would have been better as an actual archer. Hunting and archery are not the same pursuit although they obviously overlap. I know great archers who can't hunt to save their lives, and hunters who are just good enough with the bow to take game but suck at archery in general.
I fall somewhere in the middle. I can hunt, and I can do archery, but I am no archer. I can track better than most, read sign, survive in the wilds, etc. I am more Ranger than Archer, more Huntress than Archer.

I aspire to being proficient with spear, axe, and bow..the traditional weapons of the Faithful.
