Due to arotator cuff problem in both shoulders brought on by age and hard work, I have no choice but to turn to a crossbow. My current bow has seen a power reduction over the years from 50# to 40#. While I can still harvest a deer with 40# my range and shot types are limited.Soooo...I'm going to a crossbow. Researching different Xbows over the last month,and trips to shops in the area to find a Xbow that will fit my legnth of pull,not be overly heavy, and still provide the power to complete the job. I have decided on the Parker Challenger. At 5.5 lbs,short legnth of pull, and adjustable 125 to 150 #,and 300 fps. Seems like a fit. Does any one out there have any expirience with this xbow? Comments please. Thanks.
