Thanks for the giggle. I really couldn't care less how much my crossbow cost. If you saw all of my hunting gear you would know what I mean. I buy what I like and sometimes that means I shell out $500 just for an outfit. I bought the crossbow I liked the best and, after more than 1,000 bolts through it, it still works like the day I bought it. Excaliber makes a good bow. So does Horton, Ten Point, and Barnett. Those are the only brands that I have experience with.

I don't think brand is important. Buy the bow you like that will fit the kind of shooting that you will do. I will agree that if you like a particular bow, but think it is out of your price range, that you should wait, save your nickels, and get the one you want.

The deer don't know how much I spent on my crossbow. In my mind, that is all that matters. Rifle, bow, crossbow, spear, whatever. I am in the woods to take game, and I do quite often.

Michaelangelo and the brush, my man.
