cheap crossbows
 

looking for a cheap crossbow, nothing to serious or expensive. less than 200$ with around 230 fps. just kinda something to screw around with when im not bow hunting. thanks!

Cheap is as cheap does. Why not aim a bit higher, one you can actually use to hunt with if you feel like it; you may like this new form of archery. A cheap bow likely won't do the sport justice. By the time you buy all the extras, it will cost you over $300. For $100 or so more you can get an entire package, including a new bow with a good warranty. Call Dave Wilkins at 603 659 0575 for more info.

could i buy a used one anywhere for around 300$? it would be kinda cool to hunt with one but im only 14 and untill i get a job at eat n park i wont have more than 250$

Well I heard there's a Pennsylvania factor
 

The addition of a potential 750,000 hunters with crossbows in PA archery hunting, it is going to make old crossbow prices obsolete.

A lot of newbies to charge for crossbow participation.

why did they pass the law of making crossbow legal to all hunters? to get more hunters involved?

The passed the law to allow crossbows so the states can get more money from license sales!

You buy a cheap crossbow, you get cheap. Almost a guarentee you will not like it after a very short period of time. Save your money and buy something decent, either new or used; a Parker ,TenPoint, Horton, or Excalibur!

i would stick to name brand. heres one on sale with 5% off. http://www.manventureoutpost.com/pro...e-Package.html

cheap crossbow
 

i have been looking into the same , a cheap crossbow
found alot of good reveiws on the crosman brand
look at walmart on line and they can send it for free to yuor local store 239.00, check this brand out

thanks! i think i have a crosman adult air rifle maybe its the same brand

There are guys out there who love the Barnetts and have great luck with them.
Maybe they are not as bad as their rep. I however put the effort into buying a bow with a good rep and the best warrantee. IE. If it breaks in ANY way they will fix or replace it. I also wanted a bow that I could work on myself and change the string without a bow press.
My Excal Pheonix is out of you current price range but there must be a quality bow out there thats somewhere in the middle. Don't be afraid to watch EBAY. Nice used Excals pop up now and then and the warrantee goes with the bow and not the original owner.

Ps.. The Excal's wing span is just about the same as a 747 so rule out still hunting.

With all due respect, You are one funny duck!!! LOL Population of 12,604,767. You think every hunter in the state is running out to get a crossbow now?

I can say I picked up one of the Man Kung 150 pound draw hunting xbows. It is the PSE Viper rebadged. In fact they make them for PSE. I like it, cheap, workes great and there service is insanely great. I have been hunting on and off for 20 years so I am not new to the sport. Sure Ten Point, Horton, and Excaliber, but some of us dont have the cash to go super high end. I actually like the pin site set up to. The Man kung was grouping and busting arrows on each other at 30 yards and some going through the target. If you want go with the PSE for the name.

Man Kung...

"With all due respect, You are one funny duck!!!"

I just make sure I work out on my inexpensive five pound weights, to make sure I'm in shape to use my paid for compound bows. Those crossbow prices just keep me in good shape. Just so I don't have to buy one.

It is the same crossman.Their crossbows are about300$ though.I bought a hou shiew chinese crossbow for 80$ and it was horrible!!!!! So you can by a 80$ hou sheiw on ebay or amazon and just replace it every 5years.Thats what i do,cuz i will probably never have 500$ for a good crossbow.But if you are going to gat i nice crossbow my dad has a barnett revalution and its awsome.I would definatly stick with barnett.:wave:

but you can get the a pse that will probably hold its value better. http://cgi.ebay.com/PSE-Copperhead-Cross-bow-150-lbs-NEW-/160529191226?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256049 113a

They have cheap ones in the toy isle at walmart! :s2:If you want to hunt with it, get a good used one for less money. Cheap isn't good in a cross bow.:)
