Traditional Longbow - Clout Shooting

It is a common misconception among the Anti-Crossbow group that a Crossbow is a much longer range weapon than a Traditional Longbow.

In the sport of Clout Shooting, both Traditional and Recurve Bows shoot at targets 125 - 180 yards away.

Traditional Bows, Recurve Bows, Compound Bows and Crossbows are ALL capable of shooting at long range.

But, NONE have the down range energy, for an ethical shot at that range, when hunting

.

And with its shorter arrow, a crossbow has even less down range energy than a Traditional Bow.
