MoBow; I disagree with your comment about dedication. Crossbow hunters have to be just as dedicated to hunting to be successful as other bow hunters. Shooting other bows takes more time and archery skills but the deer still have to be brought into range. It takes more skill shooting a longbow than a compound. It's even easier if the compound has 80% let off, but I don't hear anyone saying they're a copout.

Damn; the next thing you know people will say semiautomatics are a copout over bolt actions. You know; the rifle hunters must read these posts and think we need to give our heads a good shake.
