Now you can shoot 100 yard tight groups with them. Of course you can with a a compound as well but it takes a tone of practice to accomplish the same. Archery seasons used to be low pressure, low harvest rate that's just not the case anymore. My neighbors group kills a handful of moose every year with crossbows, he's a gone 6 years in a row harvesting during the rut season, now that season is on the block.
“6 is loosing its prime archery moose season because of crossbows. “Because of crossbows? You jest, right? Your neighbor’s group kills a handful of moose every year for the past 6 years, all with crossbows? I’m calling bullshit on this Elmer. Your neighbor must be a guide/outfitter and I’m thinking you must have the guide/outfitters confused with resident hunters. The G/O’s want the archery season gone because it’s competition for them and their clients. The archery season puts resident hunters in the field early, before rifle season and this probably has resulted in a moose or two taken from right under their noses. Say, maybe you’re a guide/outfitter or work for one, what say?
