Come on Rich....let us play.

I still think your missing a piece of the puzzle sharpstick. There is nothing preventing me from shooting a longer arrow out of my crossbow and I can do that at higher velocities than many compound bows produce. I launch that arrow out of my crossbow at a higher velocity than a compound bow and I'm going to have a better trajectory.

I'm actually not sure where you are going with all this sharpstick but if you are saying that crossbows don't have sufficient speed and energy....you'd have to eliminate every long bow, recurve and many compounds from archery season too.
