http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com Accuracy and downrange energy are the most critical aspects for the best penetration on deer when you're hunting with a crossbow. Some people believe crossbows are capable of 100-yard shots but ethical hunters typically keep their shots within 20 to 30 yards. Downrange energy dissipates as the arrow flies, thus decreasing the amount of penetration into a deer's body. Things are different with a target and a deer, of course, so don't let range time fool you. Jake Miller with TenPoint Crossbow Technologies explains this in this video.
