Default What do I do now

Last summer I got thrown from a horse, I shattered both arms, have mild to moderate nerve damage in my right and severe nerve damage in my left. I just got a disabled archery hunter's permit so I can use a crossbow for archery season. My dad has one he said I can borrow but I'd like to get my own setup. What do I look for in a crossbow?

I suggest you post this in the Crossbow Forum. You may get more responses.

Sorry to hear about your accident, and i hope you get set up and bag that big buck.

there are several great corssbows out there IE Horton,tenpoint, many others. It depends on what you want to spend because some of them can be very pricy

WhicheverX-bow youhave decided on, soundslike you will need a CockingCrank on it.

I have non curable cancer and have nerve damage to my right leg and arm and fingers. Six weeks after a 11 hr surgery i used my Excaliber crossbow with the crank on the handle and shot my biggest deer yet. Just sat on the ground against a large oak tree. It can be done my friend. This year i shot a doe with the handgun and one with the muzzle loader. You do what you have to to keep hunting. If you have the will there is a way. good luck to you.

check out the TEN POINT cross bow. You can get the Accu-Draw system which cranks the string back. Good luck!
