Ah, so that recurve crossbow should make life a LOT easier, especially if it works with a rope cocker. That will dramatically cut down on your shoulder stress.
As for crossbows, people just about everywhere think they can just walk around the public woods and sling an arrow at a deer. It’s like you said: they think it’s a substitute for practice and basic woodsmanship. With deer, I use mine in extremely tactical scenarios where drawing a bow is not practical. It will never be a substitute for the thrill and timing of a vertical bow kill.
Unfortunately, a lot of folks are definitely looking for the easy button rather than the work and experience.
