lol bros
it is really hard to draw a crossbow
require a lot of strength, NO BS
trust me, i know, as someone who shoot it before
i shoot crossbow and compound bow before
it is super hard to draw a crossbow without some kinda of reel
LoL. What does the reel do? It's a tough question but I'll take a shot at it. Draw the crossbow?
Having a 12 pound draw weight isn't heavy. That's only about double the weight of the average bow or rifle/shotgun. If you're too weak for that then yes, it is better for you to hunt with a gun.
It's funny how you talk as if you're some kind of expert or is experienced in bow hunting when you admit it yourself that you don't know hunt.
BTW, I speak from experience. I hunt with a bow, rifle and shotgun. It's understandable for amateur lacking in hunting experience like yourself to be intimidated with the idea of hunting with a bow. Keep hunting and you'll get there some day. Just don't come to my hunting spot. Don't want an amateur spooking the deer.
