I am looking into purchasing a crossbow for deer hunting this fall. I have hunted deer with a shotgun for many years, but would like to get a little more time in the field for them. I am looking for any advice that maybe out there on crossbows.
Thanks,
Charlie

Marc initially had a parker but a limb blew only after a year.
Cabelas replaced it with a ten point crossbow and he loves it, they are the only co that only makes cross bows and all the other co's are having probs with their limbs

Hey Charlie,

It's worth doing a bunch of reading Charlie, here's a link to a real good web site.

I have a TenPoint and now I don't think I would buy anything else. It's the HLX.

Once you get done doing a little research you'll see that they make a bow that is quality, they have no limb problems. The only downside is they are a little heavier than the others but site lighter than my browning 12 gauge.

WELL JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GET MY TWO CENTS IN. YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK OUT SKORPYD CROSSBOWS.I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND READ A LOT OF CRITICS REVIEWS. THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS BEING SAID ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGY. NOT QUITE AS HEAVY A PRICE TAG EITHER

Thanks for the info. I purchasede a Horton Realtree DH175. It can with a 3 red dot scope. Now the thing is to site in the scope and do a little shooting with it.

I like the Excalibur crossbows. They only make crossbows too. Check out the limited edition Excalibur Relayer Y25.

I have a Barnett C5 Wildcat with a Red Dot, it's hard hitting, it's deadly accurate, and it's reasonably priced.

They sell them at the Cabala's in Hammond, you can test out bows there and if you buy one they will assemble it, and you can sight it in before you leave.
