Said it before and I'll say it again.....most folks against crossbows are trying to keep the competition during archery season to a minimum.
FWIW I hunt with a bow and a rifle and if there comes a time where an injury or disability causes me to not be able to hunt with a regular bow I would not hesitate to try to be able to use a crossbow.
The benefits to a compound bow in my opinion outweigh a crossbow, at least while I am still able to use a compound.
