Jaguar 175lb Crossbow review

[NorthernRaider]

That's a good review mate, thanks for sharing, I read something similar to your finding on a US site about the ACTUAL foot poundage that a bow generates and it appeared to agree with your, 175 pound draw does not equate to 175 pounds of energy released on firing. My own efforts ( somewhat curtailed when I hurt myself) agree pretty much with your own , weight of bolt, physical strength of the bolt itself etc pretty much dictate ranges of around 40 to 50 yards with modern lightweight alloy bolts. We would need to either greatly increase velocity or increase the mass of the bolts to have any improvement at greater ranges.
I reckon Jonas will have more info we can benefit from. As for myself the next time I buy a crossbow its going to only be 95 ft pound and I'll wotrk with what I have, but currently I'm more than chuffed with compound archery bows.
Good review.
