Personally i dont use crossbows myself but know alot of guys who use the EXCALIBUR x-bow--(legal in ontario during archery season)These x-bows are fast and probably the best in my book.The best thing i like about these is they have recurve limbs,no wheels and cables.You break a string for whatever reason bend the limbs in and replace the string.They just came out with a new model this year called the exomax(352 fps) but has 225 lbs pull------the exocet might be a good model at 175 i think.Give these a serious look,very popular in my area for sure
P.S---The cabelas archery 2004 has these models listed
