My wife loved deer hunting. Unfortunately, her back said otherwise. After 6 surgeries was when we got our first crossbow. She did OK but slow.
After her 7th surgery, this time on her thoracic, that was it. She can't sit, let alone recover a deer on her own. She misses it but it's life. She's 50 years old.
I use a cross bow cuz of my shoulder but I can still get out.
Enjoy every day you can get out and hunt. Use whatever tool is legal that you can. Sometimes the door slams shut on you

I live in Ohio and the crossbow is a hate love thing to me. There was a time you could go hunting on public land and not see another soul. Today it is over crowded and sad.
