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.

What do you not see here sheephunter. Rest on a tree was a example, Just figure he is resting it on any thing that he can his knee in a prone postion for all that matters, point i am making is he is ready to go at any time. With very little movement or having to let back down because he cant hold any longer. I do not see why there is any arguement on this at all its a 100% no brainer.
