I'm old and cannot pull by hand the string back on two of my friends crossbows even using their pull thing. They said I need to find one with
a crank. Any suggestion will be gratefully appreciated.

I can't pull my compound back due to shoulder issues and bought a Wicked Ridge Invader 400 with
a crank. It only takes 5 psi to crank and is very accurate with the RTH package it comes with.

Wicked Ridge Invader 400 gets you there. Made in Ohio and has IMO the best cranking device of any crossbow. Like already said 5lbs pressure on the handle is all it takes. I know some that use their cordless drill to run it and have on ours when the handle was misplaced (have a spare handle now)

A little more but the WR RDX400 is shorter and handier in a blind with the reverse limbs. Got the wife one.

Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Any of these with the Acudraw option, you're not going to find another American-made crossbow in this price range with these features:

https://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/product/wicked-ridge-blackhawk-xt/ 550$
https://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/product/wicked-ridge-rampage-xs/ 650$
https://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/product/wicked-ridge-invader-400/ 750$

I've heard the Blackhawk XT is a great deal for the money. Would leave you money left over for arrows and whatnot.

That Blackhawk looks like a lot of performance for the dollar -- and it is light weight! I messed with exactly one crossbow four or five years ago and the thing was heavy, huge and tough to [censored]. Did not know Tenpoint was American-made either. Hmmm ...

Wow, crossbows topping $4,000! And here I thought messing about with firearms was an expensive hobby.
