Many of the complaints you make of a crossbow could be said of the transition from traditional archery to the compound bow. (Peeps, sights, letoff all could be said to have ruined traditional archery).

I personally don't care but it seems that you are making an argument that could have be used against compound bows.

To me it's innovation. Learn to live with it or live a very sheltered life.
I shoot a bow, a compound bow and a traditional bow have the same fundementals and basic structure to each other, much like a musket and a rifle do. A Xbow bow is a hybred, that's a down grade from a rifle, related to a rifle, not a bow.

I would be very intrested how I'm making an argument against compounds, when technically they are the same. Xbows are nothing like either, but I'm willing to hear you out!
