OK BC....I will still take your numbers and work with those even if they are off.

You say a bow range is 30 yards ....a xbow is 50 yards (with a rest)....and the rifle is 200 (with a rest)

So with you being the math whiz I believe you can see the bow and x bow range are 20 yards different and the xbow and the gun 150 difference. That pretty much solves the question you have been eluding.....Is the xbow closer in range with a gun or bow?? That problems is now behind us thank you ....

My next question...where can I go to get a concealed carry permit for an arrowgun?
