I thought of something the other day. A xbow is not like a compound in another area. A compound can't accidentally go off. It can go off when you don't want it to but it's during the act of firing it. A xbow like a gun lays around loaded. You can't lower a compound down from a tree loaded but you can a xbow. It is an area that makes it drastically different from a compound.

A guy 2 years ago shot his foot lowering his xbow down from a tree.
