Default RE: Cross Bow Advantages

Lot's of opinions on this one, I'm sure. Here's mine. Don't know what your range is now, but most xbowers give it up at about 35 yds, and much prefer 35 feet. The accuracy and k.e. is there for longer shots on game that is not as likely to string jump as deer are.A good example is my Excal Emax. Rated at 350 fps w/ stock Excal arrows, I use a heavier one at about 325 fps.I can get 3" groups at 50 yds from a rest, but the arrow rises so far to compensate for trajectory at that range, it completely goes out of view in scope. Might try a yote, rabbit, turkey that far, but never a deer. Good luck!
