LC. That is not correct. Suggest you look up the definition of efficient..........equals maximum productivity with the least effort. The design of a crossbow is not as efficient as a compound bow if it takes 3 or more times the effort to get the same amount of energy out of a crossbow as a compound bow. I own two modern crossbows, neither shoots 400 fps. Excalibur Micro 335 has a draw weight of 270# and propels 350 gr arrows at 335 fps. Excalibur Matrix 330 has a draw weight of 220# and propels 350 gr arrows at 330 fps.
If there is one compound bow shooting more than 400 fps then I guess there are compound bows that shoot 400 fps.................then there are those guys with the extra long arms that get more speed out of a 70# bow than the average man.
These aren't alternate facts.....................just random facts
