First let me say I am going to a xbow because I have to due to severe nerve damage in my left arm and hand. It was corected with surgery to replace a disk in my neck but the damage has been done and I will never be able to shoot a bow again. I don't have a problem with xbows but just liked the extra challenge of having to draw with game around. I tore a rotator cuff several years ago and had to hunt with a xbow for part of a season but they have changed so much since then I don't know where to start.

I had a Barnett ,I think, and killed a couple deer that year with it. I bought a cheaper xbow because I knew I would only use it until my shoulder healed. Now I need a good one because I will use it from now on. I usually keep a bow 4 or 5 years unless something just grabs my eye. I think It will be the same with a crossbow.

I have seen good things about Ten Point and Excaliber. Anyone have any opinions as to what I will need.I shot Rocket exspandables with the old one if I remember corectly. Can I shoot my trusty Muzzys? I will need a cocking aid as I can't hold any weight in my left hand. Which ones work?

Thanks for taking the time to read all this,
