Stealthy, after reviewing what you said, I was off in saying they are that much faster or shoot farther, you would be correct. And I also agree that I can usually shoot better than most with a crossbow, but the advantage of the letoff over the crossbow being cocked back still I don't feel is that close. The Bow does take more work with being quiet with the draw and holding it back no matter the letoff. The crossbow is just a pull of a trigger.

Good topic
