After numerous shoulder dislocations I gave hunting with a compound bow and bought a Barnett crossbow. It has a bolt speed around 300 fps with a 400 grain bolt. A bit of caution that I may add to this discussion is that there is some recoil to shooting a crossbow. It is similar to shooting a long gun that fires a 400 grain projectile.
A plus to having a crossbow is that most members of the household can use the same piece of equipment to hunt with regardless of the their physical size. I know two families in my area that have one crossbow that multiple family members use to hunt with.
