one of beefs is most crossbow hunters do to scopes think shooting to 50 yds is ok.i hear it all time everywhere i go, I SHOT AT DOE AT 50 YDS BECAUSE SCOPE HAD 50 YD RANGE.
now, the crossbow hunters that WERE recurve /compound hunters know limits of the crossbows to 30 yds .they are ones that are not the problem,its all these NEW 1 day wonder meat hunters that see a deer and just pull up and shoot not knowing limits.
yes, they outnumber the ones i mentioned 5 to 1,for sure.
crossbow is bringing these type of people out of closets to go about their merry way.
