Homes site? Just a dedicated crossbow site that exchanges information, stories etc in a respectfull way. By far in my opinion and Im sure others the best site on the web. ATA show was discussed on the Nation and found out I wont be able to attend after looking into it. Have a great day.

My arrow leaves my X-bow at 275 miles per hour. At 40 yards I still have a very hard time pulling out the arrow from the target. At 60 yards the arrow is still firmly into the target. I know my target is more dense than a deer. I'm just saying.

at 60 yards there's a good chance the deer won't stand and wait for your arrow to get there.

Wow i am impressed you can pull the arrow out at 40 & 60 yds. Mine shoots all the way through my block target at 50 yds! Does that make it a 60 yds plus deer killing machine ? Not in my book it doesn't. That means you either need a better target just as i do! I had rather not shoot the deer on my place in the arse or guts or in the head because it moved while i shot at it. I know that from my 35 yd shot this yr. I prefer 35 yds & closer so close in fact i like to see their eye lashes wiggle in the breeze!

How much later does the arrow arrive after the noise arrive at the deer? If a deer sees the flash of the limbs on the shot, how much later does the arrow arrive? These are clues as to why you do not shoot at crazy distances and 50/60 is crazy!

Its the same as with a regular bow, keep your shots inside 40yrds and you should be able to make a clean harvest.
