Need a crossbow

Well my bad shoulder says no more compound bow in the cold. Looking for a cross bow under $500 that can be ****ed once I climb into a tree stand.

*Have very lttle knowledge of crossbows..

Thanks

You might try a wicked ridge made by tenpoint. Www.wyverncreations is a good reliable dealer on the web. His customer service is fantastic.

What draw weight are you shooting with the compound? You may not need a crossbow depending on what draw weight you currently shoot.
I've had to drop weight over the years due to a shoulder injury. Went from 68lb to currently 52. I increased arrow weight from 385gr to 485gr and use a cut on contact fixed blade. No problem going through deer. No need to draw a lot of weight for deer, I'd have no problem dropping to 45lbs and just keeping shots under 30yrds, which most of mine are anyway.

Im already at 55 lbs on draw weight. Shoulder just hurts in cold weather period. I stuck it out for 10 years, time for a crossbow or only gun hunt.

Thx

Couple nice ones were for sale on here. I think @vixenmaster had them.
I think you made a great choice with a good company standing behind it. Good luck and be careful

Great choice. Bought the same crossbow for my grandson (at full price), and it shoots great. Good luck!
