I really just want to be able to say that my compound bow is faster than my buddies cross bow.
What does it matter?
It means nothing, especially if your compound won't launch the
same weight arrow faster... It most likely won't BTW unless he has an elcheapo beginner crossbow.
Even then, your buddy could just as easily make a carbon crossbow bolt with light weight components and stay ahead of you in your speed game.
Look, we have given all the advice we can give you. If you choose to be stubborn andnot listen to the advice that been giventhat's up to you.
I just hope that you areaware that you could seriously injure yourself, others, and damage your equipment. If I were your buddyIwouldn't shoot with you.
