[blockquote]It all depends on the weight of the projectile vs. the speed and draw weight of the bow or crossbow. It has been my expeience that a crossbow bleeds energy faster than a verticle compound bow. I would never shoot my crossbow at a deer more than 25yds. out. There are plenty of guys that would. It is just a matter of personal preference. There are also plenty of guys on this forum that will critisize you for wanting to shoot a crossbow. I say "if it is legal in your state, go for it" You might have better luck in the crossbow forum. Those guys know more about crossbows than I could ever hope to. [/blockquote]
