crossbow power

How much power does an average crossbow have?
The reason I'm asking this is because I went on a service call to fix a hole made by an arrow or bolt from a crossbow. It went through the wall just enough to break the paint on the inside. The wall is 2x6 studwall ,cement fiber siding 5/8 gyp sheathing . The cops were guessing that it came from a neighbor target practicing 100yds away.

crossbow power

Crossbows have no more power than todays compounds. Both shoot in the 270-350 ft per second range.

Hunting Tip: Deer Stand Movement

If you're lucky enough to be on private land and can leave your stand up during the off season you can tie an old piece of cloth or something of the sort to your stand. I like to use an old camo bandana that I have. That way the deer get used to the movement and eventually don't bother even looking up when there is slight movement. This may just give you the time to draw your bow or raise your gun without being detected.
