The crossbow is easier to shoot, yes, as everyone who hates them likes to yell about. Cock it and then aim and pull the trigger. But it still requires practice, getting comfortable with it, finding the best arrows-heads, and determining your ethical range. You're not going to be shooting stuff at 80 yards just because it has a stock and trigger.

Within 40 yards they kill the chit out of deer when you do your part. It's like hitting them with a 4x4.

If you can shoot one for a while before buying, I'd recommend that.
