you can call what ever border you want. with a compound bow you draw before the deer gets on top of you unlessthey sneaked up on you.not all crossbows are at full draw before shooting. the crossbow only has limb savers and a scope that is not very accurate. now who has the advantage?you would have to take off all those bells and whistles to come down to a crossbow.where is it stated that a compoud bow user is more superior than a crossbow user?there are more wounded deer found from a compound bow rather than a crossbow. they do not have the advantage and extras like a compound. if you are truly wanting to be a actual bow hunter then get a RECURVE and shoot wooden arrows.
