I hunt with a compound and cannot forsee myself making a switch to a crossbow, they're big, clunky, expensive and I just think a compound is nicer shooting and more fun to shoot. I have shot both, although haven't shot a crossbow nearly as much as a compound bow. A horton xbow that I shot was easier to group tighter at 40 yards than my compound but we're not talking about a difference of kill/no kill. They are easier to become proficient with but I think that is negligible. I know of ~ 1/2 dozen folks who have gone into an archery shop to buy a compound and came out a few hours later with a tuned up, ready to hunt bow and the ability to make kill shots at 20-30 yards. This almost seems standard when buying a bow from a reputable shop. Irresponsible people are going to be irresponsible no matter what's in their hands.
Yes from me.
