Bet I could. And I bet 3 out of 5 times you could, too.

Let's see if we can get Joe to agree for us to try it. You can shoot first.

Good thing I use to be a Medic LOL

I know i could hit a apple off of a head.
When I was looking for a crossbow i was looking at excaliber cross bows because of a single limb ,not as fast but dont need it .
I was lucky to win a camex compound cross bow and happy for winning .
I saw a video of a camex crossbow putting bolts in a apple grouping . Then they tied a rope on a f150 to the same crossbow and drove around a field twice and then shot it and the same grouping.
Shooting off of a table is one thing ,standing and shooting is another

Absolutely correct. The major advantage of a crossbow is at the same time its major disadvantage.

The fargin things are fargin HEAVY. You cannot still-hunt with one unless you look like Arnie Schwarzenegger.

Fortunately, since I am far too clumsy to still-hunt anyway, my hunting was done from a comfortable chair way uppina tree. And since these tree chairs make excellent rests for crossbows... I got my biggest deer at 44 yards with a crossbow -- puffeck heart shot.

Holy shitbat-man!! It is too fargin late now for two reasons, but that is one good idea!

I gave my son, Puck, about $1500 worth of my ocean-submersible metal detection stuff last year. Every arrow has a metal tip. <-- It weighs exactly what a razor-tip hunting point does. Never occurred to me to use my metal detector to try to find my buried bolts. (With my shot-up shoulder, I cannot swing the thing properly -- or at all.)
But after a few weeks under moist Floriduh lawn/brush, they are no fargin good anymore (vanes get wrecked).

Speaking of wrecked vanes, I just ruined one of my arrows. Got lazy and just reloaded instead of walking to the target and retrieving the last shot. The second shot did a "Robin Hood" and hit the nock of the first arrow I had lazily/stupidly left in the bullseye.

(*sigh*) Live and re-learn...

The bolts/arrows can be refletched. Any archery shop will glue new vanes on them.

Some of the equipment for doing it isn’t so cheap, though. This is the jig I have.
There are definitely some cheaper options, probably find a decent jig for under thirty bucks.
