Pistol crossbow
Pistol crossbows are cute. But beyond that, they are pretty limited in their functionality. They generally have a draw weight between 50 and 80 lbs. and launch bolts at up to 200fps. This is adequate for target practice and for taking out the odd rodent. But for serious hunting you'll need something larger and more powerful, like a full-size recurve or compound crossbow.

Pistol crossbows are easier to span due to the reduced draw weight. This makes them ideal for target practice. Pistol crossbows are not as accurate as full size crossbows in much the same way that a pistol is not as accurate as a rifle. The track simply isn't long enough to develop a high degree of accuracy.
This is not to detract from the fun that can be had with a pistol crossbow. Just know the limitations before purchasing one.
Good luck in your hunt for the best pistol crossbows.
