What ever you buy,get the top of the line. But remember a X-bow is only as good as the hunter. They are not 50 yard tools. I shot 15 deer with my horton,but never shoot over 25 yards and only take high % killing shots. You will find out after 25 yards no matter what brand you pick they will drop like a lead balloon. On a 3D course a good compound in the hands of a good shooter wil kick the X-bows butt anytime.
