Pretty easy to teach anyone to shoot either weapon......not so simple to teach them to get within archery ranges....That's why I keep asking, why criticize a weapon that is easy to learn how to use proficiently. I don't hear too much whining about how much releases and pin sights have made compounds easier to learn to shoot and there shouldn't be. Why should that be a negative about crossbows? Your analogy was a very poor one.

With declining numbers of hunters,peoples lives getting busier,and free time getting harder to find its amusing,even silly calling the learning curve of the xbow a negative.
Not everyone has the time or location to become an elite....I mean "real" bow hunter.
And as far as people not seeing crossbows being used,well who in their right mind wants to be out in the bush trying to get close to an animal....all the while hoping some bullet doesn't come by?
Oh I forgot the xbow can shoot just as far as rifles...
Getting shot sure would be fun......
Really does anyone really find this surprising? Really?
