no shots here thats good info dnk,, the only thing I would add is that not all the companies will provide you with misleading info telling you their crossbow will shot up to 345fps and you get it home and it does 275 or so,, some of the companies will give you true info on what their bows will shoot, I know Excalibur will give you true info ,, and I know TenPoint will give you true info.. can not speek for the others have not shot them,, if you want what is for the most consenses the best you coug get , the my thought would be either the TenPoint or the Excalibur. but as dnk said that my opinion others may have different thoughts, theres a lot of good info to be had here , and lots of fun too..
good luck on your choice and let us know what you get , and dont be affraid to ask questions,,
