I am 38 years old and the old football and rugby injuries have caught up with me. I have arthritis in my drawing shoulder to a point that the doctor said I shouldn't bowhunt anymore. He has given me a permit to use a crossbow. I have been a bowhunter for 20 years and I don't want to give up the bowhunting seasons.

I am looking at the Barnett Quad 400 or the Excalibur. The problem is with the Excalibur I would have to spend a lot on extras without even knowing if I like crossbow hunting. Would the Barnett be a good entry level setup until I figure all this out?

Thanks in advance
