What make and model makes a good first crossbow?
My first/only crossbow is an Excalibur Equinox

Went with a simple recurve for maintenance/reliability reasons.
Love it!

Heard this one works well on Zombies! It's a Horton
Thanks guys I'll have to check those out and let you what I'm getting.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Think i'm going to have to look into this more first.
I would be interested in one for $200.
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.Quote:

Anyone know a decent place to get discount arrows?
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.Quote:
