The III Percent Mission Statement: Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will
within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. ~ Thomas Jefferson
In the absence of orders, go find something Evil and kill it!
Enemies of Liberty are ruthless. To own your Liberty, you'd better come harder than your enemies..
Crossbows are nice and all but in practicality, bit of a pain in the ass.. the term KISS comes into mind... Keep it simple stupid. Or is it Keep it stupid simple.... oh well On a crossbow you have to stop, pull the string back, mount the bolt... find your target, aim at your target, and release.....
Compound or long-bow. you can do all those things at once.. Plus the arrows are longer meaning more mass behind pushing the broad-head into your target. It's probably quieter too.
The main "advantage" in a crossbow; less actual training is required to be proficient in their use. It takes more skill (practice) to use a long bow effectively.
I agree with Knob, a good long bow, or compound bow if that is your preference, has more advantages once the proper skills in their use are learned.
I may be a little biased in my opinion on this matter. I was taught from a very young age to shoot on a simple re-curve bow. No compounds or crossbows involved, nothing more then a "bow and arrow". The use of a Long Bow came a little later in my youth, as did the costs.
