Crossbow
I have used a Barnette Revolution for the past 4 years because of a back and elbow injury. I didn't take any further shots than I would have taken with a compound. Crossbows were legalized in VA for 2005. It was amazing how many people quit teasing me about using a crossbow once that happened, and purchased on theirselves. There are disadvantages and advantages to both, and both take time and skill to harvest a deer.
I purchased an excalibur at the end of last season, and I can't wait to use it next season.

RE: Crossbow
I usually get between 15 and 18 feet in the tree. I don't believe in being so high that the deer look like ants. I have killed about 10 deer with my crossbow. The furthest was at 48 yards but I only took that shot because I was excited because it was my first opportunity with my crossbow. I wouldn't shoot much past 35 yards now. The further they are away, the more opportunity you have for error, ie. twig, deer jump the string, etc.
