Those are all good points, and I should have specified that I am not looking to shoot past 35 yds. It is irresponsible imo.

I am not in a rush to pick anything up. In fact if I can find the time, and the place I am going to stick to a "upright" as you guys call it. I wont have the money before June, as I just bought a new boat and plan to teach the Lake Erie Walleye a few lessons. that has been expensive.

Just been weiging it out cost wise. Glen Dell Buck, new sites, bow tune, new broadheads, new fletchings, new fletchings, new fletcher...It all adds up.

But you eluded to something I hadnt figured in. I thought crossbows were relatively maintenance free? Are they not?
