I was surfing the internet researching crossbows and happened to come across this wonderful site.
Hope everyone has had a very good Christmas and Happy Holiday!


A Little about me, I've been hunting upland game since I was old enough to reach for a gun. Finally through a suggestion of a client, I got into whitetail hunting about ten years ago using rifle, shotguns and black powder. Archery has always interested me but through the course of the years never really got the opportunity to do it. Since MD has adopted the crossbow season, I find myself longing to pick one up and joining the rest of you in this great sport. Not to mention its been harder to take time off to drive a couple hours to hunt. The crossbow will essentially allow me to hunt a lot closer.

Any feed back on Tenpoint stealther xlt with accudraw or the Barnett Ghost 400? I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.  

Thanks

Allchokedup, How do you like your Ghost 400? If you had to do it over again would you still get it?

They are great xbows and shoots heat seeking missles! I have mine up for sale because I want a TenPoint with the AcuDraw system. Nothing wrong with the Ghost if your back can take pulling it back more than several times shooting. (I have a couple of bad disk in my lower back). I have nothing bad at all to say about the Ghost 400.
Good luck on finding the right xbow for you.

Thanks for quick response.
I did manage to go to one of the local sporting good stores this morning and tried one out. My friend was able to cock it back with no problems. Myself on the hand not so much. I think the ten point is way to go.

Maryland has a great bow season, enjoy.  Try some Sika hunting on the Eastern Shore.  You might want to try out a parker as well.  I'm leaning toward a Parker Tornado, it just fits me well.

Thanks for the heads up. I will need to look at the Parkers as well. As for Sika deer, I would love to try that. I have a client that hunts down near Chestertown. One of these days I need to convince her to take me too.
