Swift, I call the arrows and bolts "sticks". That new cross bow he used is almost as expensive as a new rifle. 175 pound pull and the broadheads are 100 grains. He uses a string device to cock it so the pull is equal. Very, very accurate to about 50 yards. Runs out of gas shortly thereafter. He has a special crossbow scope on it so there is very little guessing. The "bolt" flight is flat enough that there is little range estimation required for an elk. What was an invigorating experience for him was getting right in among the elk in the doghair lodgepole pine.
