Crossbows

[Work2hunt]

I'm looking into getting a crossbow for my daughter and wife to use. More so my daughter. I figure it is a good way to get her into hunting sooner and they are legal where I live. I've never owned one. Anyone have recommendations for small framed people or what to look for when buying one?

No ideas but one warning. Make sure to keep your fingers low or you can lose them. Some have guards now, which is a good idea.

Look at Parker. They make a great crossbow and have several to match smaller framed kids and women.

Be wary of the speed freak crossbows. Sounds fun, but the strings wear out in no time. If a guy only sights it in and only shots it to hunt, you could be ok for a 2-3 years, but if you want to practice a lot, which I recommend and find fun, it won't last.

Parker thunderhawk is hands down the best crossbow for the money. Light compact well balanced and perfect in treestand or blind

Excalibur. They are recurve limbs, so no issues with timing. Very nice trigger. Ours is very accurate.

Which model do you have?

Maybe try a little pistol crossbow like the Rogue 80lb

They should be for people with disabilities!

I knew somebody would go off topic with this post.

I have a ten point crossbow. The wife enjoys to shoot it and let some friends kids shoot (8 on up to 12). Puts a smile on everyone?s face!

I like my inline muzzleloader too! Sabots and 200yds and a scope.

I would recommend the Centerpoint Sniper 370. I researched the heck out of crossbows for my son last year and this bow is definitely is alot of bang for the buck. Decent scope and adjustable stock. Read the reviews on the amazon. Google search "crossbow reviews" or "best crossbows list" and this bow is almost always on the list. $238 on Amazon, can't beat it.
