well if your going try a crossbow get a Horton, or you can get a crossbow that is called Tenpoint and also PSE makes crossbows.
But Hortons would be a good bow to try.
Pork chop the range on a crossbow are close to compound bows that are out there. 25-30 yards. But like an othier bow you can make longer shots if you think you can. 35-40 yards.
Myself 10-20yards are the most rewarding.
