It's not about being a wuss. Hunting with a crossbow vs hunting with a compound/recurve are two completely different forms of hunting. Hunting with a crossbow is closer to hunting with a rifle.

is there any big downside to hunting with x bow?


They are a bitch to load, I would assume especially in a climber (unless youre hunting out of a box blind). They are basically a one shot weapon as well, due to reload time. They are also heavy as shite and I would assume it's awkward as hell hauling it through woods.

Youre switching from r/h to l/h? Im assuming shoulder surgery or something?

No it's a vision issue. I Very poor incorrect able vison in my right eye, and years ago when I bought my bow I have now (my first) I was talked into the right handed and i never really shot it well bc I couldn't really see through the peep sight. So last year I just started shooting left handed with my rh bow and actually made 2 kills (my first) so I decided this year id go ahead and switch to a true LH bow
