[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 4175152, member: 2292"] Something that fits you well and feels good to the shooter who is shooting and handling it. I highly recommend, if possible, going and actually shooting the bows you are interested in. Any archery shop will allow you to test shoot crossbows before you purchase. IMO speed is overrated so DO NOT get caught up in the speed game but a lot of the upper end bows are very fast. I started off with a $150 crossbow but currently shoot a $2500 bow (12 years later) as I slowly progressed. There’s a world of difference between a $300 and an $1000 bow. They are typically more compact and shoot smoother, and overall have a lot nicer features. There is a difference between a $1000 bow and $2500 bow but not as much as the 300-1000 jump and most the stuff is bells and whistles and often more speed, none of which are “needed”. All that being said any modern crossbow will absolutely get the job done. However, if I had educated myself better I would have started off will a little better bow than the super cheap Asian made bow I started with. My second bow was a Tenpoint product and I never went back to anything else again after purchasing one of their products. I’m a crossbow junkie of sorts and have owned 8 crossbows in the past 12 years or so. All Tenpoint and Wicked Ridge products save my first one. I’ve shot countless other crossbow brands in the store but none ever impressed me enough to pull me away from the made in the USA sticker AND the customer service I have received from Tenpoint. But most importantly they always felt and shot better than any of their competitors bows in the same price class. But like I said don’t just take my word for it. Go actually shoot some if possible before purchasing. [/QUOTE]
