hunting with a crossbow

[Highlander]

I think a lot of this misses the point,... its not so much the weapon as what it fires,.... its not so much the bow as what arrow head is used, a large enough broad head is going to knock most deer down through shock alone, it will tear a hole 2 inches across and go almost through the body, [ depending on how close you are of course ],.. and depending on where its hit, that animal will go down.

A crossbow is an accurate weapon, so unless you are trying to hit the beast from too far away, you are going to hit the main part of the body at least,.. you will make a kill and usualy a quick one,... certainly on par with any firearm
