My dad shoots a crossbow, and no, he doens't have the range that I have with a compound bow. A few years back, I tore out my shoulder, right before bow season. I got a permit and used a crossbow that archery season. In my opinion, they suck in a stand, big and bulky and are loud as hell when they go off. And, if you don't have your freakin thumb down when you shoot, you will get 8 stitches like I did. I did kill 2 deer with it, but missed a few more than that. I was glad when I healed up and was back to the compound.
Maybe my dad doens't have the right kind of crossbow, but it is a horton, which is supposed to be top of the line and 35 yards is about max on it. After that, the bolt seems to drop at a rapid rate.
