Crossbow Recommendation

[BSmaster]

I have a Barnett vengeance.  Inverted limbs.  dampeners so it is not too loud but still louder than my compound.  Stock scope is very reliable.  I have killed 2 deer over 40 yards.  I have wounded one deer at 30 yards.  The tiniest of twigs do not show up in the scope.  All the deer I have missed or wounded have been because of twigs I didn't see.  This would be the same for a compound but you get tunnel vision with a scope sometimes so you need to be aware before you see deer where your scenario is.  The two I killed over 40 yards were open mowed fields and the bad outcomes were not.

 

pros Crossbow allows you to hunt tucked in like turkey hunting.  Con - re-cocking is hard to do without alerting every deer in the area.  Other than that hunting is hunting.  You still have to make good decisions.

Excalibur all the way!! shoots straight fast and way less parts to go wrong or break.

I have an Excalibur and a Camx
I don’t have a problem with either but the camx is superior in my opinion. It’s made by a company out of Rochester from what I read. I can de cock the bow with one hand using the rope and it’s 8lbs of pressure. Much better than going through a pile of the de cocking bolts. Very accurate and 340fps, which is the ideal medium between speed and accuracy.
