I'll second that...

I had to give up archery because of a blown out shoulder back in '98. A few years ago Michigan finally started allowing crossbows for general use, so I did a bunch of research and decided on an Excaliber Axiom. It was their lowest priced unit and had excellent reviews. I like hunting with it, but have not killed anything with it yet. It is very accurate and I really like being able to change strings myself and de-cock it at the end of the day without having to shoot it. I am hoping it will get my Dad to do some early season deer hunting, since the cold is rough on him and this does not require nearly as much practice to get good. Mine came as a kit with a scope, four bolts and a bolt-on quiver for $450. The only problem with it is the width, at 36", which makes it tough to find cases and you have to really be careful in a blind.
