RE: Point of using a cross bow.
Because I'm disabled and have that Right. I've shot deer to just over 400 yards with my 7 mag. Before my physical health went south. Now I have to have a deer within a very limited range to shoot them from. If they get within my comfort range they are dead and my shoulder is okay to start the real work.
I bought the original Stryker and am quite happy and confident with my placement and it's accuracy. I hit solidly at any range I shoot because of the Stryker's residual KE. I get rifle shots out of a bow and don't need a visit to the orthopedic doctor afterwords. Money joy of the outdoors is maintained and my economic support should also be considered a huge plus considering what I spend each year. I know the game benefits by my money going to manage it.
