Anyone shoot crossbows?

No one has made a Daryl Dixon joke yet. GD I am disappoint.

Is Daryl the new Chuck Norris?

Also, if you've never seen Boondock saints, it's the best action film ever:

I don't think Glaucus getting a Crossbow is a good idea, he can barely string a sentence together let alone a Crossbow. He should spend the cash on fixing his stooping wall instead.

Call some local land owners and see if they would like free amateur pest control, cue 'the hare looked like it had mixi' and 'it's coming straight for us!'.

Oh a cat you say, it looked like a hare from that range.
 
No and no.

Targets only. Besides, we don't really have any animals large enough to shoot humanely with a crossbow. Cats, swans, dogs etc don't count unless you're ***** scum. We have some deer, but I doubt trying to get close enough to make them furry pincushions is practical.
 
Please tell me the one I used at a Center Parcs session a while back was severely borked... The target was ~20 metres away and I was having to point the aim into the ground, ~5 metres or so before the target.

... And that was after the member of staff had tweaked the wire tension!

As someone with "marksman" class .22 rifle shooting from when I were a lad, the experience felt so wrong compared to my expectations.

Deer are perfectly large enough to hunt with bows. Americans manage to hunt them successfully every year, so how hard can it be?

It's just illegal to do so in the UK.
