Will it shoot as well as a bow and arrow?
Wouldn't be my first choice (power, not accuracy) but it would work if you can hit what you aim at where you want the bullet to hit.
Looks like Remington makes several .357 magnum loads that are over 400 ft lbs but only tested in 4" or longer barrels. One is darn near 600 ft lbs. No idea what effect/velocity/energy you'd get from a shorter barrel.
Around here you have to use buckshot in a shotgun to deer hunt with. Shotguns don't shoot ...
