Any of you guys or gals have a crossbow, I dont know much about them any recommendations on a middle of the road quality one? Looking for a kind of do it all model, good quality, accuracy powerful and not break the bank. Thanks

If you can swing it get a ten point.

In the 300-500 dollar range barnett and horton are GTG

I don't know where u live but ace marksman in Salem was running 25% off bows. Not sure if that is still going or included crossbows. But it's worth a phone call.

gotta admit, they've tweaked my interest of late

Parker makes pretty nice crossbows and come with a lifetime guarantee. They will either repair or replace your crossbow if anything happens to it. Look at their Bushwhacker model. If you're looking for something that's affordable and good quality... you can get a Parker Bushwhacker package that includes the crossbow, a sight, bolts and a bunch of other accessories.

i was looking at crossbows about a month back and decided it just takes way to long to reload them, and the powerful ones are very hard to cock. I've since been looking at some compound bows, but the bowtech i want is like 800 bucks... I'll probably be picking one up when my tax money comes in. I have an outdoor range about 2 miles from me(Darlington/camp gaw), i think it's free you just need to pay(cheap) for a yearly permit since its on the Ramapo Reservation.

 

Too bad the Horton Scout 125 is a youth model crossbow. It's good if you have a short LOP though.

 

I second the Parkers. I've shot mine thousands of times and haven't had a single issue with it. I've shot mine out to 65 yards so far and it is right on.
