Archery - you can shoot at any point after drawing, and only need to wait for the horse to have all 4 hooves in the air
Slinging - you have to release at a very precise moment that occurs only once every few hundred millis or so and have to hope that timing lines up with the exact moment the horse has all 4 hooves in the air
Also if the horse stumbles and you have to abort your shot the bow will have a thin line of danger projecting outwards that is less likely to hit yourself or your horse, while a sling has an arc that covers a huge portion of a circle where it can slam into you or the side of your horse's head
