Crossbow opinions?

[Frylock]

Utterly confused by all the options out there, I've never owned one so no clue what is important. Top contenders are a Ten Point Shadow ultra light, Bowtech Stryker Solution Ls and Excalibur Matrix 380.....but I'd appreciate and input on other bows.

I have a Ten Point Wicked Ridge. Only shot it once. Need to get good with it and kill a deer.

10 point is a great bow I have 2 of them. 50 yards all day long. We shoot turkeys with them.

In my opinion crossbows are for the handicapped or elderly. If you are either one of those keep on shooting

[The Duck Hammer]

In my experience lighter is better. I've got two of them, a Horton Supermag and a Barnett quad 400, and both of them kill deer just fine but the Barnett is a pain in the ass due to its weight.

This. Made by Ten Point, far and away the best bargain priced bows.

I won't hit a bitch.

Crossbows are for ****.

Then who are guns for?

All I know about crossbows is that if you have one, you ain't using it on my boat to shoot fish.

I don't want a bolt through my head when the trolling motor hits a stump and somebody falls on their ass and pulls the trigger.

Guns are for when the weather gets cold. Weather is starting to get cold around here

There's a season for it, they are legal so why knock anybody who wants to use one? I shoot one sometimes, I'm not handicapped or elderly. Yet. And if a crossbow helps get someone new in to archery like a young person or a lady that can't draw a bow, so much the better.
Now back to the OP, hard to beat a wicked ridge. I bought one 4 years ago, out of the box it was dead on out to 40.

My opinion, crossbows suck. A lot of the people that shoot them think they are hunting with a rifle. they will take longer shots than they would with a traditional compound bow. Most of these crossbows shoot the same speed or less than that of modern compounds. There is not a crossbow or bow on earth that shoots faster than the speed of sound, they are a hell of a lot louder than compounds. So when you take that longer shot, the animal being shot at has that much more time to jump the sound of it.
