NO I do not have the best crossbow.
Apparently you do because I have been around them for a long long time and I have never seen one that will do the things that you claim yours will do. But my question is this, if they are so superior in the accuracy department then why do you have to shoot mechanicals to get any accuracy with them?
The farthest animal I have shot with a bow is 22 yards. I have killed deer over 50 yards with my crossbow.
I saw George Dixon shoot a Caribou at 70 + yards with a compound. Should they be outlawed during the archery season? If not then I fail to see the point you are trying to make.

They may be made the same way BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME TO HUNT WITH. and every persion out there knows this.
They still shoot arrows. You still got the same effective range. You still have to be able to judge yardage. The only diffence is that you shoulder the weapon. But I will agree they are different in that aspect. Just as compounds are different in many aspects from trad equipment.
