[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 2081873, member: 2292"] Everybody has their favorite. But you usually get what you pay for and that couldn't be more true than with a crossbow. One major question that needs to be answered is, how much do you wanna spend? IMO, the 2 top major crossbow companies are excalibur and tenpoint. The cool thing is there bows are vastly different in that exacalibur only makes recurve bows and tenpoint's bread and butter is compounds. So really the next most import question is, do you want a recurve or a compound crossbow? I much prefer a compound for several reasons, but thats me. If you want a recurve, get an excalibur and be done with it, they literally have no competition. I don't think anybody on here will even argue that point with me. Recurve = Excalibur. If you want a compound, well your choices up companies go up by about 27 fold. :) I think TenPoint is far and away the best, but people like others and I am sure they will chime in here. Honestly the only other major crossbow company I can personally reccomend trying is Parker. I don't trust the other companies for reasons I won't list here. I will list the virtues of TenPoint/Wicked Ridge. This is why I like them. ALL their crossbows are US made and come with a lifetime warranty with customer service that is second to none. They are the only crossbow company to have a drawing mechanism built into the stock, not some cheasy after factory slap on. I feel there manufacturing and testing is far superior to any compound crossbow currently being made by a major manufacturer. Undoubtedly there will be other opinions on this and thats fine, this is just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
