Crossbows are fun. They’re fairly easy to become proficient with, which means even a brand new shooter can feel competent after just a few shots. They’re also quieter than a gun and have far less recoil, which makes them a genuine pleasure to shoot.

Bring it on.” But the fact that crossbows are so easy and comfortable to use can lull shooters into a false sense of security. Crossbows are very safe, but they’re still weapons, and the misuse of a crossbow can have serious consequences. We spoke with Dave Robb, marketing director of TenPoint Crossbows, about...
