Thinking about trying one for gun season in Minnesota now that they're legal here for gun season only. I hunt in a rural setting with lots of houses around and prefer not to use a gun for this set up. But I thought a cross bow would be fun.

What are the advantages versus my compound bow. I'm not looking to start a debate of bows versus crossbows, which is why I came to this forum. Just looking for some insight on why I may want to try a crossbow. Will it give me extended range, etc.?
