Before we really can give you a good opinion on what crossbow you should get, we should get a few ideas on what you might want with a bow. What hunting would you be doing. Is arrow speed very important to you. Do you demand wheels (a compound) or is a recurve ok for you.
Me personally, I like the Excalibur brand crossbows because they are very dependable, relyable, light and very accurate. I have used my bow for over 24 years. These are a recurve style bow which makes them very user friendly. You can do your own maintaince and do not need proshops for that. You can shange your own string in 5 minutes.
Well i'm going to be doing some deer hunting and possibly turkey. i want something that is reliable and will last for a long time. Speed is always good.
. As for a compound or recurve doesn't really matter as long as it still shoots fairly fast and i can depend on when that big buck comes by. I will be shooting quite often.
