Kill zone distances are NOT the same. Crossbows, with their shoulder assisted steadiness, scope aided aiming, and higher initial launch velocities, easily outrange compounds in the hands of the typical hunter by 10 - 20 yards.
Care to back that up?
Yea, well - you got me on this one. I have no bulletproof physics to bail me out here. Given that every crossbow hunter I've conversed with (and that's a lot) refers to 3" 40 yd groups or 50 yd groups, I'm speculating a bit.
But since most of the bow hunters I've been around ( and that's quite a few) would have a hard time holding a 3" group at 30 yards, I'm stating it as a fact. I believe that crossbows have a killing zone that is 10-20 yards farther than compounds in the hands of average hunters.
Now, would
you care to prove otherwise? You are good at issuing challenges, but I have yet to see you bring some real info.
