The biggest difference that I see is that pretty much any person can pick up a crossbow and shoot it reasonably accurately, with very little practice. You basically hold it steady like a rifle, and pull the trigger. You can even use a rest to stabilize the crossbow. On the other hand, it takes more practice to be able to accurately shoot a bow . This is even more evident after sitting in the cold waiting for an animal to appear, the person with the crossbow just aims it and pulls the trigger, while drawing a bow after sitting stationary in the cold for a considerable period is much more difficult.
