i must have missed something with my crossbow. i never knew it shot bullets and was a short range gun. i thought it shot bolt or arrows. i thought it used broadheads just like a bow. i thought it used aluminum arrows like a bow. i have not found any carbon arrows for it yet. where do i get the shells for this short range gun.your knowledge of crossbows is severly lacking. what about the new bow-tech compound bow that shoots almost 350fps. that is more than any crossbow i have seen.the compound has many more add ons to help it than the crossbow. the crossbow was here before the compound ever was. what was the purpose of the compound? same as the crossbow.
