Are we talking new bows that are out now? If so R470 for primary and Hybrid X for backup. I'd probably have a Mag Max for a 3rd option just to have a bow I could rioe cock if needed. I've found that I miss bows with sliding trigger boxes. 😢
Actually, I just put a little more thought into it and I would make a trip up to PA and see if I could barrow one from OEA he has enough extras for all of us.🤣😂
( Swatty is looking REAL NICE!! )
 
Really interesting question. If we are talking new bows currently in production, I would get a Turbo X and a Hybrid X and then shoot some and decide which was my primary and which was backup. If used bows count, I would get another Swat X1 and then go somewhere I could shoot a Turbo X and Hybrid X and decide then which of those to buy.
 
Tenpoint titan 400. It gets almost no press but same design on front as the venom x w/o the decock which i neither want or need. Yes it has a synthetic rail but I've owned a couple tenpoints with synthetic rails and have never had an issue so that's of no concern to me. Obviously not for everyone but I'd be perfectly content with it.
 
Being a couple hours from Ten Point, I'd look at an economical pre-owned but warranted crossbow after doing some research on the most dependable. +-$800 would get a bow, arrows, heads, wax/lub and other bling and a decent target. I'd shoot for a year and decide likes and dislikes and move forward from there. If I liked it I'd talk with SEW about fabricating a DIY press or go whole hog.

You would have to pry him from my cold dead hands lol.
 
After putting over 300 shots on my Rev-x. Also having recently , leaving it cocked for 12 hours twice, and accidentally overnight . I'm confident in it. Haven't had a single issue with the crank mechanism, or crank handle. I ordered a spare crank handle from Dave at wyverns, there were two separate orders and somehow I got an extra crank handle in each one. Now I have three and I'll probably never need more than the original one.
 
Now, Jim that’s no way to be. You should at least offer up “Grungie”.😂
Any other bow but Swatty, Xena, Grunjie, the OG Swat and my Joe Pa bow can be loaned out.... that leaves 1. 😂
