Anybody have experience with crossbows?

Kinda toying the idea of maybe one day in the future of picking up a crossbow. Was curious on good brands and what to look for.

I've had 2, and wish I had one of them back. They are fun. Like anything else there are cheap ones and ridiculously expensive ones.

What do you plan on doing with it? hunting or just a toy?

Hunting would be nice. But I do not consider any weapon a toy so to speak. But I would like one that I can have fun with as well.

Grown up toys...lol

I liked the top end Excaliber that I had, it was badass and I shouldn't have sold it. I don't remember the model, but it was around $900 new..... I didn't like the cheap Barnett one I had at all, it was just crap.....but I don't think that it was but around $250 new.....

Yea, many are saying barnetts are good "yard" crossbows.

What lbers shall be looked at and considered?
