Not a cross bow though.
I own a compound and a recurve.....
Still you can lose arrows...easy enough. I've done it....at $10 or more an arrow...plus a $10 or more per broadhead...it gets expensive to lose or break arrows. HA!!
Bullets are cheaper!!
BTW, I've a brand new never shot compound bow for sale!! If you know anyone looking....for one...Send them my way.

Your point is well taken. What I was getting at is that in a prolonged SHTF or TEOTWAWKI you will want to be frugal with your ammo. Bows and arrows are silent and will not give away your position when you are hunting game. Of course they are handy when taking out sentries, but we won't go into that on a public forum.
