Crossbow Opinions?

[Henry347]

Was out this afternoon doing a little bit of squirrel hunting on some public land here in East TN and walked up on a decent public land 9 point munchin on some acorns. Really didn't spook that bad just trotted off after looking at me for a minute.

Now I'm in the market for a crossbow. There's a place here local that has the Wicked Ridge Blackhawk 360 scoped package and they have the Wicked Ridge Rampage 360 Scoped Package with the accu draw option. There's about $180 price difference between the two. Both seem to have good reviews but is the accu draw option worth the extra $180? Looking for some opinions on either before I go purchase one.

I just recently picked up a Banish 420 from Academy and got it zeroed. I'll let you know how it does out at LBL South if I get a chance to shoot anything. Be warned: the "buffer tube" is not milspec and anything you put on it will rattle around.

I shoot a 10Pt Super Stealth crossbow with the accu draw. Not the fastest way to reload but it does make it easy. It also lets you decock the crossbow without firing the bow which is a plus.

I bought the Rampage 360 and got the Acu-Draw model, glad I did because after using the Acu-Draw I wouldn't have it any other way. Did take a big nanny doe back in bow season with it, didn't make it 40 yards before piling up.

I have a PSE coalition I bought 3 years ago, it's been a great compact bow for the money.
