Also look at Wyvern Creations. Dave is a great guy to deal with. Yep Good guy to deal with . Agree with both of these gentlemen. Dave was fantastic, I used him to buy mine.

what broadhead do yall use on your crossbows? I like my Schwakers. You can lock the blades from expanding so it doesn't tear up your target too much. My experience has been large exit wounds with heavy blood trails. I would avoid shooting through the shoulder on larger deer, which applies to all mechanical broadheads. Never tried it myself, but I've heard fixed broadheads won't fly straight in 400+ fps x-bows.

I’ve not had anything (including 400+) that a Ramcat wouldn’t fly well in. YMMV That's good to hear. I plan on buying some fixed broadheads for my recurve, and will try them out on my x-bow. My schwackers have never let me down, but I worry about them deflecting off the shoulder if I make a bad shot.

OK, my shoulder says I'm buying a crossbow. Looked at this thread over the past couple of days and then online. The one feature I think I really want is the de-cocking feature without having to shoot an arrow. Can somebody give me the pro's and con's on Ten Point vs. Mission vs. Ravin? Deadeye was good but didn't mention the Mission.
Don't give up, don't ever give up!
