Killed another doe with Excalibur exomax last week and 100 grain Swacker expandable 1.75". Excalibur is accurate and indestructible 
Which crossbow to buy?

I bought one of these this past fall and have been very happy with it. Very accurate and well balanced.

I had the same bow last year, it was flawless ,I upgraded i 2023 to Ten Points limited run of the Vapor RS 470 which included the scope rails and the Rangemaster 100 scope with the dots and crosshairs ,the package is all I'll ever need ,accuracy and speed is incredible.Best bow ever that I've ever owned.
I have had 3 shoulder surgeries. I cant hold a bow back. This pass winter. My wife said i got u something. She come in carrying a new Wicked Ridge Raider 400 decock crossbow. I had told her i was going to look at one. The decock comes in real handy. Easy to unload your xbow at the end of the day. Wicked Ridge has a lifetime warranty. Look how long 10 point as been around.

Love the Exomax
For those that don't have a de-cocking X-Box, I recommend carrying a bolt with a field tip in your truck with a small target block and discharging the field point into the block after your hunt.
That said, I highly recommend those made in USA Tenpoints with the ACUslide.
Here's a GA 8-point I took this year on archery opening day with my Tenpoint.

Well, since this thread is still alive I thought I would follow up. Still like the Invader 400 and deals can be had as they retire that model. My oldest daughter wants to get into crossbow hunting so I picked up a Wicker Ridge Invader M1. Digging this one too!
There are a lot of great options out there, try a fw out before you buy, watch a bunch of good reviews not product who orz and get advice from folks with several different bows.
Tried to get the 10 point RDX 400 several years ago and they were unavailable due to demand and they were expensive then ,now the new models are a little faster and even more money !For those that don't have a de-cocking X-Box, I recommend carrying a bolt with a field tip in your truck with a small target block and discharging the field point into the block after your hunt.

IMO, one of the biggest factors will be deciding to buy American or spending less for similar specs from China.
Edit to add that Wicked Ridge is Tenpoint's sister company and the bows use a lot of the same technology.
I think WR is a bit less feature rich and made in China to keep prices lower. They seem very well reviewed.

Yeah, the Tenpoints are made in Ohio, if I'm not mistaken.
Inflation is real
I certainly understand if others are not in a position to spend a bit more to support manufacturing in the USA. I count myself fortunate that I am and I do, where possible.
