RE: Whats the farthest shot u would take with a crossbow?
Somehow i thinkthat many folks are trying to emulate the "experts" on the Sportsman's Channel who shoot elk at 70 yards with a compound bow and elk at 700 yards with a rifle. They do not show their many screwups,with the animal escaping to die a lingering death. Saw one guy who admitted to taking a "Hail Mary"shot at an elk.
I had a happily feeding buck jump my string. The distance was about 40 yards. He hunched to the ground and the bolt zipped over his back.
