Different sights set-up
Snakebite: (applies to regular, tracer, and cupid arrows)
Parker Python: w/RF Sight
Recurve:
Cross bow:
Air Rifle: (thanks Derpy McDerpyson)
Longbow

30m: Top of the blade
40m: Horizontal blade
12 Ga Slugs w/2-6x32 Scope (6X)
.22 LR w/12x50 Scope
And here is my (MrEnzO) saying on the bows.
Overall ranking :
1: Compound Bow "Snakebite"
Plus:
Rate of fire, 10 arrows in about 37 sec (EDIT: It was in 30 sec).
Power.
Speed of arrows. (about 306fps)
Minus:
1 pin sight.
Good for. Everything.
2: Tenpoint Carbon Fusion Crossbow
Plus:
Power.
Scope.
Be able to go prone.
Speed of arrows. (Edit: Done it. About 288fps)
Minus:
Rate of fire, 10 arrows in about 2 min (EDIT: It was in 1min 5 sec).
Have to go to crouching to reload.
Good for. Everything.
3: Compound Bow "Parker Python"
Plus:
Rate of fire 10 arrows in aboute 37 sec (EDIT: It was in 30 sec).
3 pin sight.
Minus:
Edit: To weak on long ranges (If you hit a turkey from 50m, bodyshot, it should not run for 120 meters.)
Don't try to shoot any big game over 30 - 35m. (If you don't like to track)
Speed of arrows. (about 258fps)
Good for. Turkey, Coyote, Roe Deer.
4: Recurve Bow
Plus:
The power on short distances.
The challenge to shoot without a sight.
Rate of fire, 10 arrows in about 37 sec (EDIT: It was in about 55 sec).
Minus:
No sight.
Speed of arrows. (170fps). 136 feet test.
Good for. Everything.
I put the Snakebite in first place because I know how the sight works. If the Parker Python wasn't so weak, it would be there. Snakebite second do to the rate of fire and power. The crossbow would end up in third place do to the rate of fire. And if you know how the sight on snakebite works, it's not hard to hit targets on 50-70 meters.
So happy hunting.

Re: Different sights set-up
Here's what I have for the open crossbow sight...
The 100m is right at the notch in the bottom vertical crosshair. where it changes from white to dark gray.
Captured at 1920x1080. At this screen resolution, this image should be 100%

It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!

Re: Different sights set-up
That notch is actually the blade of the bolt, btw
Thank you for the sights! The recurve was driving me nuts.
