I have a friend that started hunting with me this year and I with him. He uses a crossbow because of a permanent sholder problem. He still has to do the same things I do, find a tree, climb, sit and wait, judge distance and shoot straight. You don't have much advantage other than not having to draw it. All the things that can go wrong in a tree for me can go wrong for him. Have a party. Your only problem is..... NOW YOU HAVE TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY ON A CROSSBOW SETUP.
