In my opinion; it is 100% purefoolishness to take a shot at a deer over 40yds with a crossbow. There are crossbows that are capable of shooting accurately at 50, 60, 70 yds BUT.......persons shooting accurately at those distancesare extremely experienced crossbow users and they are very scarce.
I agree that the average person shooting that far will wound and lose far more deer than they would ever recover!!![:@]
crossbows are being sold like there is no end to it in pa. from what i am seeing.
the comments i am hearing at sport shops on how far a lot are shooting at deer is GASTLY.[:@]
even if you tell these people you should not shoot that far, they look at you like you are GIRLIEBOY
you would not believe the number of bolts that are being sold and its same looking type of hunters i see grabbing them.
those same guys use 3 and 1/2 inch 12 ga shells for turkey and i see them every sat buying more.
