i started off with a crossbow, its a lot easier to shoot when starting but when hunting i found it quite awkward and bulky and hard to reload in a hurry. i now have a compound bow and its far nicer to carry around but it does take a lot more practice to master.

Its also impossible to find a range that will allow crossbows. Any particular advice on a type of compound bow or some baseline requirements that it should have?
