Crossbow recomendation...
Hey Guys,
I am curious what you would all suggest for a crossbow. I have heard the Excalibur is excellent, but hard to pull.
Any suggestions or tips/advice would be great.
I plan to hunt deer, and possibly moose with it.
Thanks

I've got the Parker. It's great because it has a thick forward stock which is better to keep your fingers out of the way of the string. Believe me your finger placement is going to be the last thing on your mind when that monster comes threw! It also has a nice one dot grand illusion scope.

Tenpoint makes the best crossbows on the market. I have the Titan and it shoots wonderfully and adds lots of confidence to my hunts. Most of my groups are nearly touching each other out to 35-40 yards.

Unless someone is disabled i dont think a crossbow should be allowed. Why dont you just use a gun, i dont get the challenge in using one. Maybe thats just me though.

Maybe you should run for office so you can change whatever laws you see fit

Have you ever shot a Xbow? I used to shoot a Matthews. Now due to shoulder surgery I shoot an Excalibur Xbow this year.
After shooting both, The only difference I see is you don't have to draw back. The Xbow shoots the same distances as the Matthews, only ALOT more precise. You still want to be under 35yds. The Xbow is alot louder than the matthews. I don't see why only handicap people should use Xbows. I think you could get alot more people into bowhunting if they were allowed. Kids to senior citizens.
