First crossbow?

[Mr-BC]

What make and model makes a good first crossbow?

[davsel]

My first/only crossbow is an Excalibur Equinox
http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/catalog/crossbow/equinox
Went with a simple recurve for maintenance/reliability reasons.
Love it!

Yes that crossbow is the Horton scout HD125 goes for around $350.

Check out the new Barnett zombie 350. That's the one I've been eyeing! It's a $550-600 crossbow but I did come across a site that has them for $200 a piece but you have to buy five for a minimum order. Anyone want to go in on a group buy? I'd be all over one for $200.

Here is the deal I'm talking about:

Here is the regular price:

You get 3 more and I'm in.

[Firehaus]

What the hell, for $200 I'm in.

Very cool! If anyone else is interested speak up! I'll set up the group buy down in the proper section and even make the initial purchase. Could either mail out to individuals priority insured but could also meet up with people on the I-25 corridor between Loveland and Castle Rock since I'm down there frequently anyway. Chime in if you want one.

Well hell just did some digging on the company and it sounds like they are overseas. Does not look to promising. Should have known it sounded too good to be true. Check these company reviews out:

Think i'm going to have to look into this more first.

[enthusiast]

I would be interested in one for $200.

[twitchyfinger]

Yeah me too the company looks like it is Indonesia and has a bunch of ripoff reports listed in a review search. Not to sure I want to send a grand to an overseas company. If anyone can dig anything up to the contrary i'm all ears though! Sweet crossbow now so sweet company to order from.

Agreed. I'd spend 150 more the Horton before I'd mess with some unconfirmed seller like that.

You know what that say, it its to good to be true.

Yep sorry to get your hopes up guys not worth the risk!

[stevew]

Yeah, I have settled on the Barnett crossbows too as my next buy. Too bad this deal ended up being questionable.

[Mr-BC]

Anyone know a decent place to get discount arrows?

[Holger Danske]

Arrows or bolts? Try Bass Pro. They have sales on archery stuff from time to time.

Figured something hinky was up with them when the link to the Excaliber Equinox posted by davesel showed them @ $770 but Mahato has them @ $324/ea. if you buy 3. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
