Just sayin'.

Wouldn't the equipment for that be a lot more noticeable than a simple short-bow and a small number of arrows? That, and traps seem more like an orc tool, the Dunedain probably referred to themselves as "above" such ways of killing.

I think its quite conceivable. Traps can be easily made out of the surrounding vegetation, if you know what to look for - which i'm sure Aragorn would. Saying that, it always seemed more likely to me, certainly with the imagery i gained from reading, that he was equipped with a bow. However, i cannot think of any evidence to support this notion! just something i drew my own conclusion on i guess. The power of literature!
