Stephen,

The 200lb Exocet is capable of taking any animal in North America. The Vixen (150lb) has been used to take moose in Canada.

Actually, the cheapest retail outlet I have found is BHSS:

But if you get it from Dan Miller, the person who handles all US repairs, the xbow will come setup and sighted in. His prices are very competitiveand heis also and excellent resource for questions (740) 483-2312. Call Dan Miller before you buy, it is worth the time.

Any Excalibur product is an excellent choice and they stand behind their product regardless of where you get it.
