laugh if you will. I also limit cross bow shots to 15 or 16 steps max. The few times I've used it, the bolt has hit within an inch or so of aiming point, have never hit anything but hearts so far.
But the noise is there, like a 22lr or mag crack mostly. Since I shoot out of a box, its really muffled though.
Why use one? Body won't let me shoot a compound some times due to fire fighting injury.
Other than that I prefer the regular bow. Like as in recurve, but now and then I can shoot my compound and have not been able to shoot my brackenbury since the injury a few years ago...
