Nothing in the rules says that you get a bonus if someone isn't shooting back. And wouldn't that be covered by the penalties for pop-up attacks, Dodging, Move and Attack, etc., which are all maneuvers you do when you are being shot at?

I've been in the military and actually know what that is like, and yes, it's terrifying. But when I tell you that the stress of getting a good bow shot when hunting is much higher than target shooting. And I didn't try and factor in terrain and visibility into the shot - sometimes you are firing from slightly awkward position, you are also being very stealthy, controlling your breathing, trying not to spook the animal, etc.
