[QUOTE="longrangebob, post: 2012171, member: 3744"] Depending where you are Crossbows may or may not be legal during bow season unless you have a disability; unless your setup is atypical - crossbow Bolts the correct choice and not your Arrows; I cannot speak to your choice - but if you have the correct spine weight & good broadheads Tune it, sight it, &PRACTICE (I used to use similar weight field tips then change to Broadheads) U were being teased about Fred Bear 🐻- he was probably the most famous when I was a Lad and my first bow was a 30# - when I was 10 or 11 and I hunted every small game animal I could find BUT primarily Grouse & Pheasant - Firearms took precedence till I was 21 - then my 50# Full Recurve until 1980 & 20 years with Compound - then in 2000 my PSE & Crossbow went to my son & I went back “Ole School” and returned to my Recurve - I use Old 420 Gr. Aluminum Arrows w/5” Fletching; 190 Gr. 1.75” wide Single Blade broadhead (where the installed arrow tip is interior to the “Leaves” of Broadhead) I now shoot “instinctive method” Again and limit myself in distance - ever since the Grazing 70+ yd. Moose took one ☝️ long stride between when arrow was released and when it arrived — instead of boiler room I got a hip - I never saw that arrow again; although the Moose was fine a week later (arrow is somewhere in Black Spruce/ Tamarack Swamp - but that is part of why I use Aluminum - big critters don’t bite thru it when pulling out - now I limit to 30 Metres & my shots on Elk go to the Fletchs (only had 1 Pass thru back with compound) im heading further back and making broadheads out of Obsidian- find a comfortable set-up, a style you like 👍 and enjoy, I have for more than 6 decades... It is ole fashioned BowHunting - or Black Powder Cartridge - or Precision Rifle (6.5X284, 280AI, 340Wby have stood me in good stead),,,, and yes this Long Range RIFLE - Forum, some of us do more than, but expect some teasing - I wish You Success [/QUOTE]
