The maximum effective range of a crossbow depends on several factors, including the specific model, draw weight, bolt weight, and individual shooting proficiency. Generally, crossbows have a maximum range of around 40 to 60 yards (36 to 55 meters) for accurate shooting. However, some high-powered crossbows can reach distances of up to 100 yards (91 meters) or more, but accuracy may significantly diminish at those extended ranges.
