[QUOTE="j3cub, post: 862920, member: 72220"] I have tended to like light and short crossbows. Most crossbows are rather muzzle heavy and while this is not a problem in a blind, it will not take long for you to wish you had a lighter crossbows when carrying it. Another issue is complexity. The more complex the harder to fix in the field. Considering the above, I like the Excalibur crossbows and Draw-locs. The Excalibur is so simple you can change the string yourself in the field. It is fast and light. I break the crossbow down and put everything in a baseball soft carrying bag which you can buy at Dunham's. A lot of people do not know what the Draw-loc is. It is a simple system which can be attached to your bow in minutes and helps you hold the bow at full draw. The person most likely to use a Draw-loc is one who already has a good bow, and does not want to spend a lot to purchase a new crossbow. The system works very well and many users say their shooting improved after installing the Draw-loc. If you are an older hunter like myself, and have been reducing the draw weight in order to keep hunting, the Draw-loc may be just what you need. I have restored my bow draw weight back to 70#. The Draw-loc only adds about a pound to your bow's weight and the hold back rod and trigger mechanism can be removed while walking to the stand. [/QUOTE]
