Hi All,

After 30 years of bow hunting and with a elbow injury I knew it was time to give it away, I sold my bow three months ago and already I am going stir crazy, I have decided to have a look at crossbow hunting and already have a short list , Barnett Quad AVI 400 or a Strikezone 380.

But now with these forward facing limbs and the speed they are getting like Scorpyd great looking crossbow and for the only thing that lets it down is the weight, I am thinking that if Barnett or someone else came up with one with there composite stock limbs etc may be worth my while waiting until the new year and see what come out.

As for me I am from the earthquake city of New Zealand Christchurch but we do have great hunting and fishing.

Cheers   Graham :)
