OK, I almost hate to ask this, because I know how lots of bow hunters feel about crossbows, but here goes: My gun-hunting buddy wants to go bow hunting with me this year, but he has a bad right arm (had surgery on his biceps tendon a few years ago) and cannot draw a bow. He asked me for advice, but I know nothing about crossbows, other than they are legal archery equipment here, and a minimum 150lb draw is required. Other than that, I need help/advice...can anybody give advice on a good medium price brand, preferred spine, aluminmum or carbon, which broadheads, etc? Also, things to avoid? He has 5 weekends to practice if he buys one this week, so I'm looking for some info quick.

Thanks in advance...

There are a number of good crossbows ouy there, recurve style or compound. Lots of time its your preference.A lot of people are shooting excalibur crossbows and rave about them,for arrows you'll get the info when you buy your stuff. Good hunting Rich

Why can't he shoot left handed?
