Barnett has the best trigger I've tried. Far superior to my Centerpoint. You could get a Barnett 385 and a better scope and stay in your budget. He's going to need a rangefinder too. That's not as fast as some, but it'll have a good trigger.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Budget to speed ratio, Killer Instant. Not as refined as my wicked wicked ridge or horton reverse limb, but will throw a arrow the same.

I picked up an inexpensive centerpoint ampd 415, put a ravin scope on it and It will stack arrows at 75yards at 380fps.
My son is deadly with it, I have been impressed to say the least.

So, as a first time user, would you guys recommend the rope cocking device or the crank style? I have never shot a crossbow either, I do have a compound bow and have shot it for years.....I probably will get my crossbow sometime this summer and to practice and be ready for next season....I have areas that I can hunt where a rifle is not feasible..... If you’re practicing (multiple shots) you’ll want a rope cocker. The crank is very handy in the stand/shooting house
