If he's out Bow hunting he shouldn't be concealed carry just for the point you made plus no necessity to be conceal carry. But, he'll want to carry in a manner for a quick draw and then practice it if different from CC style. For instance, if his ready position for drawing his Bow is with his dominant hand at chest height, he could use a tactical vest with the solar plexus holster canted towards him like some use for combat. His hand would literally be right next to his firearm most of the time and he could have a sub-second reaction to weapon on target time. If I'm out Bow hunting around lurking Mtn Lions, this would be my carry position of choice. With the tactical vest you can also easily carry extra mags that are convenient/fast to reach.
As an aside, I have a .45 glock but never got used to the bullet drop at range, 20+ feet and seemed to drop almost a foot or so. Maybe it was the ammo I was using or just me or they all have that issue. My glock 19 (9mm) doesn't give me that problem, which as I said, might be shooter induced anyway. Either way, be sure to use a sufficient ammo grain load with hollow point for max damage, IMO.
"Bullet drop" is frequently caused by anticipating the shot and involuntarily pushing the hand forward as you fire. Try letting the shot "surprise" you, gently squeeze the trigger and ignore the fact that it is going to recoil. I've seen plenty of "low shooters" become better pistol shots with that one technique.
Yup. Also, other techniques that work well at the range are: if you have a partner, have them randomly load the mags with snap caps. That way you don't know when they will pop up. It helps quite a bit to correct anticipation. Another one is use snap caps and dry fire with a dime resting on the barrel. This might help if you are having trouble with correct finger placement causing the gun to pull left or right.
