I've shot and hunted with compound,recurve and crossbow. Crossbow are heavier and somewhat cumbersome, but anyone who thinks they are inaccurate either hasn't used one much or is just plain dishonest. I prefer the compound, but I had an Excalibur as well, and shooting at the same bullseye got expensive quick. I've robin hooded more than one arrow with the compound, but for sure the crossbow is easier to shoot more accurately without too much practice.
