A secondary question is how far have you shot a deer with a crossbow? 40-50 yds? 60 yds?

My daughter,, not taking a jab at you shot one at 50yd I watched the shot and saw the impact through binos. She was shooting a wicked ridge 360 with a rage . Deer was broadside quarter away and she hit right at diaphragm and lodged under skin on far shoulder after punching through the scapula. She was shooting beer can groups at 50 so I didn’t have an issue with the shot and she had shot several with a rifle already.
I think with the right scope it would be a 100yd Xbow but I wouldn’t shoot it past 50-60yd. Go look at some YouTube of the flight time and how much can happen between trigger pull and impact on 100yd Xbow shot for reference.
