I have hunted and shot both bows and crossbows. Only used a crossbow for hunting well healing for a car accident and went back to my bows.
Crossbows are not hard to shoot accurately out to 50 yards. No different then a compound sight it in and no your range you can do it. It all comes down to the shooters skill level. It is actually easier to be accurate at longer range with a crossbow in my opinion.
Both have there advantages and disadvantages.
faster to get a second shot with a bow
Crossbow can be cocked and ready to go so you don't need to worry about being busted drawing on an animal.
Bows are less cumbersome well going through bush
Crossbow is more forgiving and easier to learn to be accurate.
Do to the heavier arrow you get better penetration with a bow.
Lots of myths with the whole crossbow vs bow debate but in the end the only things the same about the 2 is a string, limbs, and fletched projectile. They are completely different other wise
