Well, I'd say Robin Hood would win both times.

He lost his enchanted bow (219) to Rumble and I don't think the crossbow he uses in Storybrooke is magical In my opinion he's just saying this to stop Gold - in Lacey the arrow followed Rumple aound the room until it finally hit Rumple. In Bleeding Through Mr. Gold was able to change the arrows direction towards Roland which he couldn't do back then in Lacey. Gold  was saved by the fact that he is immortal save wounded by poison or his dagger.

Here's why: Given that time froze in both realms Storybrooke and Enchanted Forest all three of them have had enough time  to practise their skills but Granny and Snow White both forgot who they  are and I don't think that an innkeeper has to use a crossbow very often. Or a school teacher a bow for that matter.

Robin would have used his bow more often in this 28 years.

Granny's old. Although she has wolf's skills left to add her I would say her eyes are too bad on long distance. Mary Margaret or Snow has been shown missing some targets a few times. (e.g. Lost Girl). Snow doesn't seem to have used a cross bow very often. At least I never saw her with one. Granny is not seen with a bow very often, either. Robin Hood wields both weapons quite well. (EF: bow SB: crossbow)
