Don't know how many of you have actually used a crossbow but I have and lots. The shorter light bolts lose energy and drop much faster than an arrow out of a compound. A crossbow is not nearly as effective as people might think. My imposed limit is 30 yards. At 40 yards my bolt is dropping like a rock. I've seen people shoot compounds out to 60 yards with some success. You couldn't dream of doing that with a crossbow. If someone says you can they either don't have a clue or else must have something much more magical than mine & mine is a mid level excalibur. Seems like some people think a crossbow is instant success. To be very honest, if I could use a compound I would never consider a crossbow, not even close!!!
