crossbow hunting
Mechanical bow sport
Crossbow hunting is the pursuit of game using a crossbow rather than a firearm or conventional bow.
Crossbows offer advantages in accuracy and draw weight over compound bows, making them popular with hunters who have difficulty with traditional archery.
Regulations vary by jurisdiction—some states restrict crossbow use to certain seasons or require disability permits.
