Please, someone wake me up or is there a troll here?

Forty yards max!!! But some guys in the CB world are just like some guys in the Vertical Bow world and can and do take longer shots. But like I said before, anything past thirty yards and you open up the door to alot happening. The arrow is only going say 280 to 320 FPS and out at thirty yards its going alot slower so any thing past that is just to risky.

I see you are new and making alot of post in the bowhunting forum also about compound bows. Are you making the decision to go from gun to bow and are trying to figure out what kind to shoot? I read all of your post and you sound pretty "green" to bow hunting. If you have no experience in bow hunting you will need someone close as in friends and family to help you out with a vertical bow. Vertical bows can get pricey and there is alot of trial and error with one, like finding which arrows to buy, which rest, release and so on. If you have a limited budget the vertical bow can eat up yourmoney fast and you may be disappointed in the end, especially if you do not have a mentor to help you.

Now, if you want the better choice for a beginner, then you need to get a CB. Most CB company's offer "packages" and you can get one, take it out of the box and within a dozen shots or so you wil be hitting the bullseye. CB's are allot more forgiving for the new guy. If you are on your own and do not have a fellow vertical bow hunter close by willing to help everyday you shoot, then go with a CB. Also a CB will help you master the "twenty yard" game and learn to hunt deer with in close range situations with less problems. Then if you feel you need more of a challenge then you could by a vertical bow and open up the door to more variables. Not saying CB are alot easier, but they have less variables like drawing on a deer and squeaky rest and so on that you will need to learn to over come with a vertical bow.

But if you are asking questions cause you want to know if the CB will get you farther then a vertical bow then the answer is NO!! I think an average CB is more powerful then the average vertical bow the first ten yards. But after ten yards I think a CB starts running out of gas real fast compared to a vertical bow. Just my opinion.

Check out the Stryker Xbow if determined to shoot far.

And yes, VERY $$$$$ !!

how much is it

They're taking pre-orders, due in in Jan., @ $1650.00 each!

Ouch!!!!!!!!

I don't care if it's able to shoot a 400fps bolt, that's WWAAAYYYY to much.

Kind of a wild looking Xbow though isn't it?

my thoughts on it is anything past 30 yards is too far ,

say the Deer is at say 35 to 40 yards and just at the point you pull the trigger the deer takes a step, you just went from what was a good doubble lung shot to a gut shot ot possibly just a wounded deer..

I saw ashow where a very expierenced shooter shoot and hit his target at 100 yards with an Excalibur Exomax he had a pole beside the target and was aiming 20 feet above it . even that guy said the farthest shot he would ever take on a deer is 40 yards and even he reccomended keeping within 30 for the average hunter..

I guess I am not your average hunter Henry! LOL! My last two deer were past 35 yards and short of 40 yards. They were the only two deer I felt absolutely safe in taking a shot that far. Both feeding. Both motionless. Both facing slightly away. Both had tails almost motionless. Not a care in the world. I'm not saying for a moment that you should take the shot that I did but I couldn't imagine a better situation to take that shot, so I did. Lets put it another way. My personal limit for shooting with my fav 300 is 300 yards. Don't care what it is I know I can put the bullet into 5" or less every single time no matter what the situation is (assuming I have a rest of some kind). Now I can keep bullets in a 8" circle or less at 500 yards. I've never shot an animal past 300 yards. If I ever see a world class deer or elk past 300 and under 500 yards I'm taking it. I know the gun can do it and I can do it if EVERY thing is right. Take one thing away and I will not take the shot. If there is any real wind, if it is moving, if it not broadside etc I'm not taking the shot. Now the arrow. Are you going to take the shot at 30 if it is walking at a very slow pace? If its tail is twitching? If it is looking around? If it just stopped running? If the wind is blowing? If 30 is your limit then what is that limit for? Is it for a calm deer? Like Clint said, a man's gotta know his limitations! I have no problem with you or your self imposed limit whatsoever although some do. What do you think of someone thinking 30 is too far?
Henry, I hope you know this is all jibberish (and I'm not giving your a chewing here). It all changes in the field but hopefully stays the same all the time in your mind and your conscience because thats what this is all about. Your conscience. My conscience says 40. What does your's say when the World Class deer comes spanking by you?

Hey I am just impressed that buck hunter14 replied to one of his own post! Makes post and never comes back for a follow up?

Fourty is pushing it,30-35 yards is better 25-30 is best,as fast as mine is
at fifty to much can go wrong,jump the string etc.a clean kill is of the
utmost importance!
