Looking for something cheap that works halfway decent enough to last me through bow season, any suggestions?

If you don't mind buying used check out http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=132

got a buddy that uses one of the barnet packages well under 300

Don't mind at all. Messed up and got rid of my bow this summer, just need something to get the job done till I can get a new bow. And thanks.

Thanks. Will check it out.

wait makes me think my cousin borrowed my bow last year and hasnt brought it back!

Barnett Wilcat C5. They can be had off amazon too.

For cheap I'd go with the Barnett Recruit. Only about 300 new. Compact and light weight.

$299.95 Carbon Express® X-Force® 350 Crossbow

One of the pawn shops in haleyville has 3. Ill swing by and see what they are. Only thing they are missing is the bolts and can probley get one of them for 100.00 . Send me a pm if you want me to check it out for you.

Barnett jackal. I bought the kit on amazon last season. Dropped a buck the next day. Culled 4 animals last season 3 deer and a decent size pig with it. Shoots 315 second...loud and wide that's all I don't like about it.

Wildcat C5 Barnett seems to be a good one and they all seem zeroed out of the box!

Parker thunderhawk $499 best for the price

I like Wicked Ridge crossbows.

I would recommend looking for a Stryker 350. I've got it and a Ten Point Turbo XLT and just sold a Parker and the Stryker is a much better bow to me. Its quieter and more accurate. I've shot and owned several crossbows and its a great crossbow especially for the money. They have a lifetime warranty and you can find them in the $375-550 range on ebay.

that barnett wildcat c5 is a good crossbow, i had one for a while and killed 4 deer with it

since horton went out of buisness last year. they still have brand new hortons on ebay for half price. just be sure not to pay more than half. I bought the trt 175 last year and have been pretty pleased. as long as it doesn't need any parts. I just sold my explorer 150 for $50. also if you do risk buying horton buy something pretty simple, some of the reverse limbs have problems. ten point bought horton and will be bringing the brand back in a different fashion.
