RE: A snippet about crossbow power - Timelord - 24 January 2012
An idea to help avoid losing Xbow bolts - fasten hi vis fine fishing line to a notch in the rear of the bolt. Not tried it but could be worth a laugh. Also if you fastened v.fine monofilament wire instead of fishing line, you could energise the line to a few thousand volts and incapacitate the target. maybe using this method, you wouldn't need sucha high power xbow to start off with.
this is all just a fun idea and only half serious - you never know though.. ummm.

I've got a number of bows and crossbows, and have used them for a long time now. When it comes to hunting a crossbow wins every time over a bow. a good crossbow with quality optics and good Bolts will be far more accurate than any bow, including compounds fitted with sights.
