3. No difference in a crossbow and an bow on the way they shoot. Yes, you would still need to practice the same as before.
4. It definately did mine. The type of string you use can also effect the sound.
5. 3 PINS - 20 YRD - 30 YRD - 40 YRD. Please don't think it is safe to effectively shoot farther.
I assumed that crossbows would allow me to shoot farther but from what I've read, that's not true at all.
Soon as my target gets in, I'll start practicing. By fall I should be in good shape concerning the capabilities of my crossbow. One thing that I hope will be better is my low light shooting. I injured my optic nerves many years ago and don't have good low light vision at all. In fact, with a bow and peep, I've not been able to shoot the first or last 20 minutes of legal hunting time and that's cost me several deer, couldn't see to take the shot. Hopefully, with the illuminated scope, I'll be able to shoot the full hunting day. Just another thing I got to figure out when I get my target.
