my dad has a crossbow off of ebay(i think)anyway,its aout 7''-10'' long and has a 50lb draw,would you take it out deer hunting if you can hit something at a given distance?

Not only will it not work, chances are it will not be legal to do so. Most areas that I know of have minimum and maximum draw weights for regular bows and crossbows. Ohio's for crossbows is 75 pound minimum and 200 maximum. So in Ohio you would be breaking the law. Them are toys and more of a novelty then anything, at most to torment birds in the back yard.

Hunting is like Marriage, you get out of it what you put in it. Sometimes you score and sometimes you don't, but its always fun going out!
Is it one of them thar pistol types? To be honest if you could hit a rat at 10 yds. with it, it may dispatch it! Don't try to shoot no tick toting deer with one. Just cause the deer pain may get infection![&o]
OK friend no its not legal! I am not trying to hurt yer feelings, its a play thing yer Pa has. Shoot rats n gophers with it. Have yerself a good turkey day.
Rifleboy,
the guys are leading you true. I have one of the ones you are talking about and as they said it si pretty much a toy. this question gets asked all the time in here and these guys are are about hunting with serious crossbows. It si pretty much illegal in all states as they have poundage limits on the bows taht are used. Those things are fun though. can you hit with it? I am not worth a crap with mine....
