RE: Cross Bow
Why don't you call bowtech and ask them if they suggest you hunt deer with a crossbow at 100 yards. I am almost for sure I know what the answer will be. And if it isn't a resounding no the the bowtech I own may be the last one I own.
I can shoot 5 or six inch groups at 70 meters with my bow and it only shoots around 200 fps. That doesn't mean I am going to go out and shoot at live game at that distance, that is just ignorant and unethical in my opinion.
Cross bows are still short range weapons and you need to practice with them to be proficient and know where they will shoot at what distances. 400 fps is not going to give you a flat trajectory out to 100 yards. There will be some serious hold over at that distance and you better know exactly how much and exactly how far your target is, down to the yard at that distance. Not to mention wind drift and time the arrow is in the air. It had better be VERY relaxed game at that distance, especially considering how loud most X bows are.
Oh, and we actually have a cross bow forum if you want to check it out.
