Some good points with the crossbow. Iv bow hunted for 30 + yrs. Last yr i injured my shoulder and couldn't pull my bow back enough. So i went out and purchased a crossbow. Well if u practice they are a great tool. I was lucky enough to take a buck at 10yrds with mine. I dont care how good a archer you are there is no reason to be shooting at a deer past 50yrds with bow or cross bow. Way too many things can happen. Some people feel they are mr wonderful and shoot that distance. Well i bet they have injured there fair share. Im sure also under the perfect conditions it will and has been done.
