Just my opinion, but the Ten Point crossbow has to be the best made for safety and pin-point accuracy. I've been shooting a Ten Point for 9 or 10 years now and have hadno problems yet. With all the safety features built into them it makes it worth the extra $ be safe. But the best advice is to shoot several brands before jumping into a purchase. You may find a good deal, but if it doesn't feel or shoot correctly for you - it's not a good deal.
