He can't actually be certain that he wasn't still asleep in the cryo pod he had woken up in. What scattered parts of the events leading up to the big freeze had informed him that his pod hadn't been in the same place that he had left it. None of it made sense and the world outside? It all made even less and to top off this nightmare? No working hearing aids or anyone in sight besides overgrown bugs and rabid fucked up looking mutts.
The whole word is sad, but that's one of the saddest thing about. Everyone he's tried to talk to has shot him or realized he was fresh, lost, and easily believe any lies they told him. Reading lips wasn't something that came with high accuracy or left any room for understanding tone, infliction, and any other giveways someone might not be telling him the whole story. The issue was a lot of people covered their faces, so communication was strictly trading bullets or fists.
Clint's still alive, it's been roughly a month since he's worken up aand traveled far. He's still has about a much information as he woke up with; he's two hundred years out of time and shit sucked. Friends were probably long dead, still popsicles, or who knows where considering Clint found himself way off from when he went to sleep.
He's made due with living so far, started to understand the lack of law of the land. Everything's shit and caps make people talk (not that he understood a lot of people). There was this really old lady, who was fucked up looking with no nose, who says there's this pesky pest with robot moved into one of her workshops.
Her lack of defined lips made this really had to read along with lack of eyebrows, made it harder for him to make any real judgement. Clint's got not a lot to go off of but she's clocked his deafness and told him if he got rid of this pest (the robot he figures he can disable and scare off the guy) than she'd solve his whole broken hearing aid issue.
Remove the man from her workshop and Clint could start to make some real progress on figuring out everything. That's how he ends up, perched and readying up the bow he's been working on since he woke up. It's taken him a better half of this terrible month to find good wood, a good knife, and get to carving. Arrows were the next part, and now it's time to test that. All he had to do was scare the guy out and not get shot by his robot.... or the scary looking suit he has which Clint's seen a few of those around out here. Tony would've loved those.
He sees the guy exit and that's when the warning shot is nocked then loosened. An arrow flying a great distance to graze past the guy. SCARE HIM OFF, that's all he had to do and then maybe Clint can start making sense of the wasteland.
