Default RE: range of crossbows

ORIGINAL: Gimphunter

I'll have to respectfully disagree. I have a stryker. I'm new to xbows and am not an expert but, this thing came with a three dot scope. They are for 20 - 40 - 60 yards. At 60 yards my arrow is still a challenge to pull out of my Target and I can consistently hit the kill zone. Still enough KE to make the kill. I believe it's a 400 or 425 grain arrow w/100 grain broadhead. It's clocked at just over 405 fps. I haven't had a chance to shoot a dear/deer yet but with my laser rangefinder for a confident distance and my confidence that I can hit a static target at 60 yards and I'd fill my freezer.[&o]
What's a static target? That's been my problem w/ Stryker since they brought it out, 20-40-60 on the sights. The 60 is not realistic for white tail deer, imho. Moose, Elk, antelope, turkey, bear, yes, but so are many others.
