Does the goblin ability "Unruly Rabble" also apply to shooting?

It says:
"You can add 1 to all hit rolls for Goblins if their unit has 20 or more models. If the unit has 30 or more models, you can add 2 to all these hit rolls"

It doesn't say "...in the combat phase..." like the similar night goblin ability.

Similar questions for the Great Gitmob ability "Ravening Hordes" which says: ...When a model from a Great Gitmob attack, you can add 1 to the hit rolls if its unit has more models than the target unit..."

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like that works for archery.

As I read it, yeah it works. Unless it says otherwise, a hit is a hit regardless of from what weapon or phase.
