Oh, absolutely, I think I finished at 97 in Archery with this last character but IIRC I never took any of the archery perks beyond maybe the very first one or two ranks at the bottom of the tree, and maybe not even those.

But I still had great success with the bow, typically in conjunction with Sneak which I used constantly when dungeon crawling or moving through potentially dangerous areas whenever possible right from the start.
So usually when I had the bow out it was to snipe someone or something who never saw it coming, and as the quality of my weapons and ammo got better and better I didn't really see the need to use perks on Archery. I considered it a secondary skill altho TBH I probably got most of my animal/human kills that way and certainly a whole lot of lower level draugr, even a boss here and there if I was quick enough.
The only thing that got disappointing with the bow was that I never really got to see the results of using something like Frenzy poison because by the time I got around to wanting to experiment with it, anything I used it on tended to die just from being shot the first time.
