True, cheap is not where its it if you know you like a crossbow and or have the funds. I bought a lower price bow just to see if I would like the switch. Now I know I like crossbows its alittle different. I think many that switch do the same. Tenpoint and other manufacturers must feel this way by adding to the cheaper end crossbows. In all fairness though Tenpoint already has the top end covered in price by quite a few models.
