I know a lot of traditional bow hunter but not anyone that shoots a crossbow. I tore my rotator cuff several years back and I have a hard time trying to hold a bow at full draw. I was looking through sportmans guide and cam across this crossbow and was wondering if it was any good for a beginner like me.

Any thoughts on this one? If it is any good I will probably be getting my daughter one also since she is wanting to start hunting also. I am on a fairly tight budget if that makes any difference.
