The Hunting Crossbow is a bow featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Background

Despite the superior range and stopping power of rifles, crossbows are nonetheless used by some, whether it's due to strict gun control laws, bow-specific hunting seasons, or simply a personal desire to live in a pre-gun era. In any case, their owners found them very useful in the apocalypse, whether in their original use, or taking down a very different prey.

Sold in select hunting, sporting or camping goods stores.
