They are large, wide, cumbersome, heavy objects that are not well suited to still hunting or spot and stalk. For all the guys that say if they'd have had a crossbow they could have made kills...there is no way you could know that. You might not have even have been able to get in that position with a crossbow. Unlike a gun, you just can't lean up against a tree or shoot between some branches or swing it around to shoot. It just doesn't work that way. Crossbows require a ton of clearance on all sides to work.

I agree TJ about them being cumbersome and awkward, and perhaps difficult to handle in certain senerio's. I also know when stalking game like antelope with a decoy, not having to pop up above the decoy, and have the ability to shoot from the prone position, is an advantage. I know would have got me a couple more prairie critters, than the resume shows. You have to agree on that senerio.
