Sorta new to hunting and totally new to hunting with a cross bow. looking to spend about $400.00 on a new crossbow or if suggested that I would be better off buying a used one. Will be hunting for deer so suggestions on brands, places to buy, accessories etc. Any info will help. Iam in the dfw area and have looked up a few archery shops along with the big name stores. so was wanting help from the THF before I spend money on something I shouldnt have. Thanks to all.

A co-worker that has been a lifelong archer and now crossbow shooter told me a Barnett Recruit will do all you need out to 60 yards.Ebay has the whole setup for around 250.00

I researched quite a bit last year before getting my first crossbow. After reading tons of reviews and articles I settled on a Wicked Ridge Warrior by Tenpoint. I must say I couldn't be happier so far.

Wicked ridge Warrior or Parker Enforcer are good bows for around 450 in the big stores. Not sure about the online prices. I would stay away from the China made Barnetts, too many issues IMO.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Not sure if its still there, but there's a nice Excalibur in the classifieds for ~$480. I think it was an Ibex. Excaliburs are great machines.

I just bought a PSE Toxic from American Archery for $280 to my door. 325 FPS, 4 arrows, rope cocker, scope, quiver, wax, sling, and field points. This thing is fast and stupid accurate. http://www.americanarcherysupply.com/pse20tcrscpa.htmledit: sorry, the link is for the skullworks camo, mine is Mossy Oak Infinity and is $20 less than the skullworks.
