which crossbow to buy

[Guest VolDaddy]

I have the Barnett C5 and quad 400. I only shoot the quad now. It hits harder and shoots the longer 22" bolts. I am taking the easy way out. I just don't have the time to practice all summer. I can let the quad out a few weeks before the season starts and it's still dead on from last year. Invest in a good range finder and practice from a stand at home if possible too.

I've been reading the thread. I too want to get into deer hunting with a crossbow. What do you think about this crossbow?

There are a few sub-$400 Crossbows at BassPro.

I've wanted one just because I think it would be fun to shoot!

I'm hunting with a Recurve Bow this year and practice EVERY day.

It's fun for me.  Worried that if I had a Crossbow, I might have a hard time deciding what to take out :)

I bought a crossbow last year just for something different. It worked, I love it. I think a crossbow is just as difficult as bow hunting. Especially if you have to deal with weilding the dang thing in a stand. But it's hella fun. I have a Wicked Ridge Invader. It shoots pretty dang good. But i had a hard time deciding when I bought it. There's several out there that are good. And there's much to be said about Excaliber recurve style.

I bought mine from wyverncreations.com. He usually has good prices.

I have a Horton Hd 175 with a three dot red dot on it. Dead accurate, same hole every shot out to 40 yards (haven't went further) . It is fun to shoot too.
I just need a place to hunt with it this year.

I took a Barnett Panzer to Peru for my assignment there.  It killed many wild pigs for food and big snakes just because I don't like them.  You can still eat them anyway.  It never failed and the bolts were available even in Lima.

The Parker buckbuster is an awesome crossbow, extremely light and compact, and extremely deadly.
