Default Crossbows?

Greetings all, first time poster here. I’ve been looking for a site just like this for a long time. I’m looking at getting back into bow hunting, but due to a chronic shoulder problem I’m looking specifically at crossbows. The guys I hunt with are all real “gear-hounds” and use nothing less than the top of the line, state of the art, big $$$ equipment and can’t/won’t talk to me about anything less. I’m not ready to jump into things quite that deep yet. What’s a good entry level type crossbow for Georgia whitetail hunting? What are some of the key features I should be looking for? I hunted with a compound bow many years ago, but it seems all the technology has changed and I don’t recognize any of the manufacturers anymore. One crossbow that I keep coming across that catches my eye is the Horton Yukon SL. Is something like that a good hunter/starter. That’s kind of the price range I’m looking at. There are lots of them in the pawn shops too, used only a couple seasons…should I be concerned about that? The folks at the pawns hops say that people are just upgrading. Anyway, whatever tips and advice you folks can provide I’d be very appreciative of.
