For small to medium game nearly any xbow will do , for deer and larger save up for a better quality one such as an Excalibur , Ten Point , etc . If you get one over 150# get a cocking aid , all real heroes use them instead of tearing their back muscles .

If you want some spanking power and speed that you do not need find a used Excalibur Exomag. Check out all the forums and put up a posting.

Without knowing your budget I'll just tell you what I paid for mine. I bought a brand new Horton Team Real Tree 175 that came with a quiver, red dot scope and four field arrows with tip at the Sportsmans Guide on line and paid $270.00

Get a horton! They have bows that spread the entire budget range and are good dependable bows.

The Sportsmans Guide (www.sportsmansguide.com) has a real good deal on the Team Realtree Horton #175 kit. It is the crossbow, quiver with 4 bolts and a red dot sight. I picked one up and it shoots nice - got to get some limbsavers and a case for it now.

I don't know your budget but a very good xbow that is very accurate and will do in deer and hogs is the Excalibur Vixen 150lb. Can be had for $309!
