Forgive my ignorance. My crossbow knowledge is limited and the only crossbow I have experience with is my cheap Barnett Gamecrusher. I made a thread about wanting a new crossbow and got lots of responses.
My main reason for wanting a new crossbow is to get as flat a trajectory as possible. I would like to be able to hunt without worrying about different sitepoints out to 40 yds and be able to use a rifle scope or red dot (will probably try both) and not worry about arrow drop at that distance. Is this even possible? If it is, what speed do you need to be at to be able to site in at say 30 yds, and have an arrow trajectory that doesn't affect shots into the "kill zone" from 20 to 40 yds? Is what I am looking for even possible? I don't know for sure but the IBO on the Barnett Gamecrusher is 330FPS so I am guess it is probably around 300FPS. I know it has to be a lot faster than that.
Thanks
