"Apollo was the best archer in the world. Only one person was as good as he was, maybe even better. That would be his sister Artemis." – Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

Notice the word better? Or, for instance, how about that scene from the Titan's Curse? "It almost looked like the arrows had intercepted the thorns in midair and sliced them in two, but my eyes must've been playing tricks on me. No one, not even Apollo's kids at camp, could shoot with that much accuracy." We can assume that the arrows were shot by the Hunters of Artemis, right? And the Hunters of Artemis now receive the Blessing of Artemis or something like that, right? On the other hand, the kids of Apollo also get their powers from their dad, and even their archery skills were stated to be less impressive than those of the Hunters. So, based on the powers that their followers and children received, I say Artemis is better at archery.

Forget about it. The point is "moot", as 8th would call it.
