Where to get the Strongarm Hunter Bow:

You'll find this bow in a Generous Supply Cache within the Rebel Camp called The Deadfalls. This is accessible during the second part of the "The Bristlebacks" side quest. Once you're inside the camp, after pushing over that big fallen tree to get in, head north. Keep going straight until you see a dusty wooden ramp on your east side. Take that ramp up, and then follow the next ramp you see. After that, turn southeast and follow the path. You're looking for a Generous Supply Cache, usually right next to a large broken pot.

Plus, with that extra 5% Critical Hit Chance from the second perk, you'll be landing those critical hits more often, making up for its lower base damage. Keep an eye on that blue glimmer, and you'll be surprised how much damage this bow can dish out.
