What are the advantages of crossbows?
Crossbows provide longevity, speed, and accuracy that bowhunters need to hunt game. Compared to traditional bows, crossbows have a few advantages, including:
· Quick accuracy – Shooters, with training, can produce accurate shots from 5 – 60 metres.
· No drawing motion – With a flatter arrow trajectory and no required drawing motion, crossbows are easy to operate.
· Better stability – Their design allows for longer holding times on the target without any muscle fatigue.
· Shotting position – They allow for shooting in a prone position.
