My kid wanted a crossbow, I got a bonus cheque at work so we started looking. We set a price point and started looking. After reading quite a few reviews, and going to hold them, we got the CenterPoint Stryker. All of the reviews say it's equivalent to most $800-900 crossbows. I don't know how much of that I believe but I don't mind it, even with the pretty not ok trigger.
$500, the bolts that come with it are junk so replace those. The Cabelas branded bolts have great reviews and I have tried them first hand as well. They are tough and consistent.
Crossbow for me will be a "toy". I might get to try it once during hunting season. They are fun to shoot but I still like my compound.
