Nope haven’t lost touch. There is “stages of hunting” proven time and again.

I use only my bow during general season, why? Because I like the challenge and the experience and the means...the end “goal” doesn’t have to occur as quickly as possible.

Just curious if those so passionate about the crossbow are using them when they can...vs being upset about when they can’t. If hunting is only about putting food on the table for you, you are missing out on a lot.

So if I hear you correctly the crossbow for you isn’t about the means...but the ends to the means? It’s just about achieving the goal as fast as possible? Do you bowhunt currently, can you pull 40lbs?
