I am very late getting the bow out but this was my first practice shot @20yds. The rest (between 20 and 50 yds) weren't as good but I didn't lose any arrows or pull my shoulder...
I need more practice with my crossbow. First year that they are letting us use them in bow season(Oct. 3rd) but you need an anymore permit for a doe. Wife helped me build a blind near some of our Oak trees.
