Reality - yeah, have just about made the switch.
I'll never "not gun hunt", but most of the woods time now is archery only - with a planned, draw or invite gun hunt every few few years, when available.
Which crossbow?
Mechanical head - Rage x-bow
Fixed head - Slick Trick (Viper Trick), Excalibur Boltcutter, or Evolution Outdoors Jekyll / Hyde. .
