"i for one dont see that much advatage in them other than not having to deal with the drawing motion"

Where i was bow hunting last year this was the biggest issue. When cover is very sparse and theres not even enough to sit up, a crossbow would make it a walk in the park (even if theres no other advantages) I can see it being appropriate in treed areas where this isn't really an issue. Just an idea, i really don't have a strong opinion on this one, but it would make coulee deer a lot more vulnerable, getting within 30 yards was easy, drawing your bow back at that point was almost always impossible.
