A large portion of the bow hutners out there seem to be using a bow that if you turn it side ways would be the same as using a cross bow.
There is one very significant distance, the archer that uses a regular bow has to hold the bow drawn using his muscles.

The skill level for using both proficiently is about the same,
If a crossbow is already sighted in , virtually anyone can aim it at a target, pull the trigger and hit the target. With a standard bow, you need to be able to draw the bow, hold it drawn until you are ready to shoot, and then cleanly release the arrow.
