If your budget is limited look at a used Excal or Ten Point

Yup, that's correct Only thing is, Barnetts have 50 times more than any other make. (Documented statistic from a crossbow repair shop!!)

Default Crossbow Recommendation

Take a look at the Horton Brotherhood. Mine was $399 for the package that included crossbow, scope, quiver, and 3 bolts with field points. It has an ambidextrous safety and an anti-dry fire mechanism. The Brotherhood is light, accurate, and easy to use and maintain. Hope this helps.
