Golly jeepers! We had no idea, I mean, its not like all of us stated it in our posts, but that is some fine logic young man.

Go Crossbow, or I'll bite off your left arm.
Look at it this way. You have from Level 10-30 to decide which one you want to choose. I personally use both Bows and XBows during this time to see which one I liked the most. It's your decision. Asking is ok and all, but all you're doing is stirring the cage around the Bowman Threads.
I personally believe each class is honorable and respectable to the whole "Archer" class. I've never been nothing more else besides a variation of an Archer in every MMO I've ever played. Like I said, you got 20 Lvls to determine it. Asking for Pros and Cons are just giving both sides a reason to bash each other, plain and simple.
also why is everybody using booster as an argument? If hunters/rangers use booster we get an even faster fire rate, so the two just cancel out, personally I couldn't stand the delay between arrows so I used bows and became a hunter, unfortunately europe doesn't have 3rd jobs
None of this "1337" stuff, it's just "ronin"

Booster increases both of their speeds, but the gap exists. The best way to describe, that I can think of, is with numbers.
If we rate xbow's with a speed of 1, and hunters with a speed of 2, then booster will increase them both by 1, making xbow's 2 and hunters 3 - xbow's are still slower, but faster than they were before. Yes, xbow's are slower, but we're more than stronger enough to make up for that fraction of a second.
Grupins ? Are you going to be at grupins for 200 lvl's ? Are you going to be at grupins for even 20 lvl's ? And xbow's do a lot more damage, everyone diminishes that.
i can just say bowman is faster than sniper.well i thing bowman is more stronger than sniper becase it is so fass.
