Answer me one question Stealthy. Why would anyone other than someone who is disabled, want to choose a crossbow to shoot over a compound, recurve or longbow?

One statement by me......although someone new to shooting a compound might be able to take a deer after only a few practice shots, its highly unlikely they can do so consistently. Peronally, I don't think its ethical or mature of anyone to start hunting with any sort of bow without practice, practice, practice. Your positive statements about crossbows are negated by your statements about a new compound shooter could kill a deer within 20 yds easily! Has this something to do with sour grapes?
