Shouldn't be a problem

Personally, I don't bow hunt, but I do take care not to interfere with other hunters that may be on a bow hunt. I would hate to be blasting away, scaring the heck out of the wildlife while a bow hunter was putting in time and effort hunting.

OP: Yes, you can shoot all you like. Just ensure there isn't any bowhunting going on nearby, just as a courtesy.

There need to be more people like you I was bowhunting two weeks ago, less than a kilometer from my truck on a small cutline. Someone started target shooting on the same cutline, right by my truck. They had no way of knowing exactly where I was, but come on... on opening day too. If there were any deer in the area, I had no chance of getting them thanks to those goofs.
