Advice
My buddy JB wants to move from a compound to a Cross Bow. He and I are now both pushing 70, and he like me has difficulty drawing and holding a compound. He will be on a budget of about $600. I will have most of the accessories he will need/want .... cocking rope, bolts, soft case, lubes, etc. He has the broadheads. And I have an extra 3-dot scope if whatever he buys comes without a scope. So all he will be in for is the Cross Bow. I have read a great deal on the Barnett Jackal, which is in his price range ..... but the reviews are all over the place. Lots of complaints associated with early failure of the string. He's not going to have $700-$800-$900, --->>> $1500 to drop on a higher end Cross Bow.
I would appreciate anyone's field use related recommendations. He will be hunting white tail deer. Mostly from a tree stand.
