RE: could they actually be good in this regard?
Ive never shot a crossbow and dont care to. I think they are pretty cool but I like my compound and the effort that goes into it to perfect it. Crossbows were illegal when I first started bowhunting so maybe thats why I dont care to shoot one. I just got my Hoyt last summer and people now say that I should have waited to get a x bow but I tell them Im happy w/ what I have. Im not degrading x bow hunters here just stating my preference.
