FYI
Hunting, leisure and science

Crossbows are used for target shooting and bow hunting in modern archery and for blubber biopsy samples in scientific research.

With a crossbow, archers could release a draw force far in excess of what they could have handled with a bow. Moreover, crossbows could be kept cocked and ready to shoot for some time with little effort, allowing crossbowmen to aim better. The disadvantage is the greater weight and clumsiness compared to a bow, as well as the slower rate of fire and the lower efficiency of the acceleration system, but there would be reduced elastic hysteresis, making the crossbow a more accurate weapon

Maybe you just don't want the competition?
