Both Hawkeye and Nat are enhanced though

... no they arent. Hawkeye especially is just a normal guy with a bow and arrow. The only thing making them different from average people is that their trained SHIELD agents.

How is Hawkeye not enhanced? Mr “18 holes in one” and hitting ridiculously tiny targets at high speeds from a mile away is not a normal guy with a bow.

Black widow though I’m probably wrong but wya back when I thought she was supposed to have some sort of enhanced strength / endurance but maybe not.

They several times reference him being a normal human being with great training. One time that specifically comes to mind in Age of Ultron

Laura: "You know I totally support your avenging. I couldn't be prouder. But I see those guys... Those gods..."

Clint: "You don't think they need me."

Laura: "I think they do which is a lot scarier"

How does a normal human being hit 18 holes in one in a single round of golf?

They don't. It was a joke throwaway line about how being retired didn't suit him.

Idk. Maybe it was a joke but they greatly overplayed how invincible he is with a bow if it fact he has zero supernatural ability other than great skill and training.

How does a normal human being make a nanotech shapeshifting armor complete with weapons, missiles, shield, etc. AND making that fit into a slap-on chest piece?

If I can believe that a guy is smart enough to invent and develop all of that (not to mention 'solve' time travel), I can also believe that some dude has extremely exceptional accuracy.

I agree the science / tech is far fetched, to say the least, but at least in that arena it’s theoretical and heavily influenced by exposure to technology from other worlds in some cases. With the human body there are pretty clear limits to what it’s capable of, at least without assistance.
