However, for your interest on a recent trip to the QCI, three of us CLEANLY killed 13 of 13 Sitka Blacktails with archery gear....kills ranged from ranged from 17 to 51 yards.
Two bucks were also missed cleanly (both downhill shots where the hunters shot overtop).
Keep the shots to a comfortable distance (ranges that you've practiced consistantly), keep the angles reasonable, and you'll have short bloodtrails with dead critters at the end of them.

Anyone running those odds better spend some SERIOUS time at the range, or give it up!
Used a decent compound for several decades. In all that time, I only ever lost one (poor hit). Picked up the crossbow, and put in a LOT of time with it before I felt anywhere near comfortable with shooting at game with it. Actually believe my old compound had a better trajectory and sure as hell loaded a lot faster!
2 hits, 2 kills, 2 recoveries (1 clean miss) this year with the new crossbow.
Any decent bow is downright Murderous when the One behind it has sufficient practice under their belt. There is NO Excuse for what you are suggesting!
Of course this could simply be a troll, in which case Bad on me for biting...

Mr. Sunshine
after 20 years of guiding clients on big game hunts in BC I have seen more than my share of a$$hats that couldn't hit the broadside of barn with their .300 Wind-Bag-Magnums, and just as many resident .300 Wind-Bag Magnum toting fools,
keep talking, I think I may have met YOU !
