RE: I am new to all this crossbow stuff
U will get just as much thrill of harvesting a deer with CB as with regular Bows. U still have to be close, and thats gives u the shakes to start with! CB's wheeled Ten pt. and Parkers, cost is abit high but they're worth it. Excals are the same way, u don't have pay big money fer one. Exocet 200 can be had fer about $370. Get a rope cocker and extra string half dz. arrows and a quiver and good target. U don't have to have a scope the first year, peep will work fine to 30 yds. Whats there not like! There r some Bows i won't even touch. The new Hortons and some Barnetts r falling apart just picking them up! U want a hunting CB with powergood speed great trigger,comfort good warranty and weight not pulling yer arms out of their sockets.
