RE: shoulder hit with cross bow
If the 'yotes haven't found it yet then it's probably alive , keep looking .
My 150# crossbow has plenty of KE , but shots past 30 yards are off my list . The bolt drops 10" between 20-30 yards , telling me that my attracting skills had better be good . I got a 180# recurve model for this season to slightly increase my KE , but I still won't shoot over 30 yards .
