A rifle like a 243 will have far more power, range and accuracy than any bow. I am a senior 6' tall with strong hands and a rifleman of over 60 years experience. I like the new to me crossbow as my state made them ok now for deer. I like playing with it in my basement and I shoot it every week down there.
Even a reduced load in a 243 would be much easier to hit with however the crossbow is fun. You can try both.

My Barnett Recruit Recurve crossbow just got jammed here with the string back and I tried a practice shot in the basement.
Something jammed in it's trigger mechanism.
I forced a part of the trigger with a large screw driver and was able to shoot an arrow off to 'unload' it's string.

dont know if the 17 hmr is legal in your area or not but i can testify to its lethality on deer . a person i know killed 5 from a tree stand in the space of a few min or less. however a 243 is what i use . rt shoulder is full reverse replacement. if your good it will only take one shot and its only once a year. and to get it sighted in i use a folded gun case. ole hunter is no joke
