On recurve bows – as mentioned later in the Excalibur Bulldog 440 review – vibration is amplified at high FPS, making purchasing a full suppression system worth considering.

This is somewhat mitigated in the case of compound crossbows, as their pulley systems allow the energy to be stored in other parts instead of the string, thus reducing vibration. It seems logical that if you wind a string up further and harder before letting it go, that this cause more vibrations, and therefore make more noise. What are the disadvantages of a fast crossbow? Noise Not an uncommon phenomenon when hunting at longer ranges, the snap of the bow string upon firing is enough to startle game into a panic-driven movement reflex which, by the time the bolt arrives, may mean you hit the wrong part of the animal or miss it completely.Īn extremely fast bow makes it less likely because, at 500+ FPS, a deer just won’t have enough time to react even at 60-80 yards. What’s most impressive about performance improvements on the fastest crossbows over the last five years is how much it impacts accuracy over longer distance.įor example, the R500 and the TenPoint Nitro only drop about one inch over 40 yards compared to 20 yards, significantly more than less powerful crossbows. This improves aim over distance, not having to account for as much drop in the arc of the arrow. The distinct advantage to a faster bow is that it creates a flatter trajectory.
