I am looking to purchase a new crossbow this summer. My heart was set on the Excalibur 355 micro, but I just found out that I can't hunt with a crossbow over 200lb pull in NYS. Can any of you guys that have experience with crossbows recommend one for me?

I have been using two different X-Bows, Ten Point Stealth SS (succeeded by the FX4) and the Ten Point Venom. Both are high quality precision machines! Ten Point has the best customer service in the industry which was a big factor in my decision making although I've yet to have a need to call TP! Lots of great X-bows out there! Good luck with your decision!

last year i got an empire beawolf the price verses speed was what sold me and its all it was said to be also i like the quiver set up

I have a Stryker strike zone 380. Works very well and has a great trigger. Having shot many xbows the biggest issues for me are the trigger and how it feels to carry. They are awkward. Look into the stock, weight and ballance. How does it feel when you hold it in the position it will be in while walking and shouldering it. Triggers are an issue on a lot of xbows I have shot. I hate travel and heavy triggers. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Barnett and Bear some other brands leave a bit to be desired aswell. Ten point make some really nice xbows, cost a bit more than some but Remember, you get what you pay for. Swing by Northern Dutchess Archery. He has a bunch of them ten point, mission and Stryker. They will let you take a test shot before you buy.
Good luck.

Come on in and test shot some crossbows we have a good selection as of now but the selection gets thin as we get closer to the season.

just joined the crossbow craze myself this summer and didn't want to break the bank so I bought a loaded PSE
Fang for $350 ......

I have the pse fang also and gr8 bow for the price.

Ten point shadow ultra light. Love it. little expensive but believe in research and spend the money upfront on something good and it will last forever. Jmop. It is what I shoot.
-
Shadow ultralight is a really nice one.

I'm going to jump into the crossbow craze too. Hoping Northern Dutchess still has a good selection. Would like to buy local if I can. I'm that last minute kind of guy these days. Better late than never right?
-
Haha, I'm gonna pick up one too..... no time to practice with the bow this year....
-

Oh yeah..... and Jessica said it was ok ;D

Ten point titen extreme. have had it 2 hunting seasons and took 2 shots in the field. Dead bear at 15 yards and 7pt buck at 50 yards. comes with the accudraw system, quiver and 3 bolts. I paid 799 and can get the new model for like 650. thing is heavy duty and well built. love the crossbow. good luck guys.
-
Definitely ten point. I have shadow ultra light acu draw awesome. Prefer acu draw pull style with retracting cords better than crank style . To me faster in stand and super quite. If you want to shoot mine stop by Jay they are SICK !

I treated myself to an early 40th birthday present. Joe and the boys over at NDA were super helpful. Thanks guys. Also saw another member over there spending some of their hard earned money. Can't wait to hit the woods now with this bad boy.

Yea boy ! Welcome to the darkside. ;D (beers)
-
yea man! I said I would never get one. Congrats and watch your fingers.
-
That other member would be me. After a long consideration I too jumped into the dark side. Thanks to a lot of opinion here and a little research the Ten Point Stealth joined my arsenal.
I shot both field tips and broad-heads about 35 times and there was no disappointment. I shot out to 40 yards and can honestly say I would feel very comfortable taking a tree-stand shot even further.
The guys at Northern Duchess were outstanding as always. Joe, Timbow, Birddog....High Fives!
......and Jay, wait till you shoot that thing....it's sick!! Happy Birthday Brother.
-
Nice meeting you guys today. Good luck with the Ten points!
-
Good luck guys & thanks for the support! Let's see some big buck pictures!
-
I did notice that Broadheads shoot different than target pts.....just be carefull
-
shoot thunder heads they seem to fly the best out of my buddies x-bow

I got a Wicked Ridge Warrior for a 50th birthday gift and I love shooting it. Wicked Ridge is made by Ten Point and the quality is the same. Just installed a steady eddy for this seasin, cant wait!

Question: Has anyone ever got checked or even ticketed for having a crossbow thats too short in width? Mine is 2inches short of the ny legal hunting law. Was wondering if they make a big deal about it.
