I suggest you pick the weapon that most appeals to you, and don't listen to the guff that goes around on crossbow threads. Yee olde deer won't notice what flung the arrow what does 'im in.
Exactly my sentiments.
As for using the crossbow like a firearm statements, that is not what I experienced among crossbow shooters with a few exceptions. As stated in my earlier post and again by brotherjack. The efficiency, accuracy and effective range of compound and crossbow are the same. All else is preference of the individual person.
