that shouldn't matter. We have a 150# crossbow and its deadly up to 30yds...it prob could shoot out to 50 but we only take 35yd shot at most and its a complete pass through with a broadside/double lung shot. if it hits a shoulder or double shoulder you may not get that but its possible. if its a spine shot its typically enough to break the spinal cord and drop a deer.
arrows are expensive...just make sure you use the right thickness of arrow for the 175# bow...if not it will give you inconsistencies..
I think a lot of new crossbow shooters underestimate the killing power of the crossbow. you should be good out to 40yds...anything more its a big drop...
