I am thinking about picking up a crossbow this year. I don't want the cheapest...but certainly not the most expensive. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
I have been hunting with a crossbow for a couple of years and killed 8 deer so far. I bought a used Excaliber Exomax "package" for $520 shipped. It included the Exomax, a dozen bolts, 6 Bolt Cutter broadheads, and the cocking and take down ropes.
The Excalibur crossbows are really nice & accurate. The price retrieverman told you about is great!
You could also look into getting a Barnett. They're a little cheaper & good quality. I see them on Craigslist all the time for 300 or less. The Quad 400 & Revolution are good models.
I have an Excalibur Equinox & it's the finest crossbow I've ever had the pleasure of shooting. It was pricey though.
Pick one that is a good deal and go from there. I have a Barnett Quad 400 and have taken two so far this year. I will be purchasing another one. Not due to lack of performance. It's to heavy and bulky for anything other than stand hunting. I'm leaning towards getting a recurve crossbow to cut weight and overall size. The Quad 400 is very fast and accurate. I was hesitant after reading bad reviews but I haven't had any issues with mine.
