[QUOTE="RWE, post: 2702396, member: 20736"] I finally took the plunge into Xbows this year. Like you, old shoulder injury gets aggravated by “repeated use” so Xbow it is…. I chose mine after a bunch of research and shooting several owned by buddies. It is like rifles, and trucks, and everything really. I would say try on as many as possible, look up “Death by Bunji” on YouTube and watch a bunch of his stuff. I have a Wicked Ridge x400, really like it, fast, accurate (good arrows matter!), and easy to cock with the built in string/pulley thing. I don’t like the crank cockers but I see why some do. After shooting a bunch, I realize that most mechanical work will be done by authorized folks. A recurve Xbow can be “just” as fast but you can do a lot on your own (change strings, limbs, try different limbs, have backups on hand/in case, take string off between shooting/hunting seasons…….) So… research, shoot a bunch, make up you own mind based on needs (and wants). I might have to get a recurve Xbow for a backup!!! [/QUOTE]
