Archery/ Crossbows

[100Acre]

I'm in the market for a quality crossbow that won't break the bank. I know very little about them, but I'd imagine many of you on here might be able to give your two cents on what to buy or not and specifications etc. I'm a big guy at 6'9" tall so I need to take that into consideration too. Does it need to have cams, what kind of string, scopes, cranks and bolts? Any advice would be much appreciated and thanks

If that caught you off guard, you should see him drive his P500! 😆

I don’t have a crossbow but I know several guys that shoot this one and love it.

I have a TenPoint Titan SS with an ACUdraw PRO crank so I don’t have to manually pull 175 lbs back. I’m 6’0if that counts 😉.These only shoot Omni-Nock bolts only.

I am very happy with it. It was accurate right out of the box. I had to go to a crossbow after L4 L5 back surgery. I used to have a Matthews compound. 🏹

I'll second ProudDad on the Titan bow. I have the same one. It was an upgrade from a Wicked Ridge Invader, I got 2 years ago. Both are excellent bows, at a great price. I shoot ten point lighted bolts too.

Yah man, the Omni-Brites are awesome. That bolt flys so fast it’s really cool to watch. If you do not have an Omni-Bright you can’t even see the bolt, you can only hear it when it hits your target. 😎

I wanna see a video. It will be hilarious.
