[QUOTE="280 Man, post: 956242, member: 76805"] What to buy?? If working on your bow is paramount you will find that a recurve will be easier....Most recurves have higher draw weights to achieve high speed than most compounds as well....BUT with the good cocking aids available makes this somewhat easier.....Recurves are also louder than most compounds but NO crossbow will be as quiet as a vertical bow..... ...Don't get caught up in the speed game....Any bow that will shoot a 400-430 gr arrow at or near 300-325 fps will get the job done at any reasonable hunting distance......There's some great crossbows being made today that fit this....I would find a dealer than has different brands and shoot as many as you can.....Buy what feels the best to you....I'm partial to Tenpoint bows, they have some GREAT shooting bows and their customer service is second to none....Good luck and welcome to the crossbow ranks....
