[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2146144, member: 103947"] Shooting a crossbow at a target at 125 yards vs shooting a deer or game with it at 125 yards is an entirely different story. Crossbows aren't quiet. I might say that 125 yards may be less noisy but speed is reduced giving the animal time to be in another position after the bolt leaves the bow. Unlike a rifle, the crossbow bolt could take a couple seconds to hit the target. I shot a deer last year at 57 yards which I probably shouldn't have but it was relaxed eating in my food plot. Upon the trigger pull, the deer reacted to the noise of the string stopping and crouched. My aim point was at the very bottom of the vitals for that reason. The bolt spined the deer so it dropped at the impact. I wasn't happy with that result. Bolt speed was 405 at that time with that crossbow. I have a slower crossbow today which is 385. I won't shoot at a deer beyond 40 yards today. [/QUOTE]
