I find it kind of comical to hear guys say they are so much easier to hunt with because you don't have to draw and hold back and you shoot it with a trigger like a gun while at the same time they are shooting their 85% letoff compounds with all of the bells and whistles holding back a whopping 10-15 lbs of draw weight with their $100 release aids(many of which have a........you guessed it........a trigger). Yeah, that is so much harder

I disagree with this part. Certainly, a compound bow is easier to hunt with than a recurve, and a crossbow is easier than a compound. That's not an opinion, just a fact. A crossbow, once sighted, requires NO practice. That's not to say you shouldn't practice, just like with a rifle. But lazy hunters will NOT practice, just like the guys that sight in their rifles the day before the season. It's point and pull, no anchor point worries, no cant worries, on holding the bow through the shot worries, no drawing back in a precarious position in cold weather worries, no holding on target worries. Yes, I've shot a crossbow. Sure seemed a lot easier to me
