I walked into Canadian Tire store back in August and they had a dozen different crossbows for sale.
They had a few different manufacturers crossbows but I was only interested in Excalibur.
At the time I was aware there were 'requirements' to get the crossbow hunting exemption, but I was pretty sure I would qualify.
So I ended up buying an Excalibur Bulldog 400.
Then I consulted the doctor, ended up getting an MRI and Xray on my shoulder, which showed old scar tissue and injury, so I legitimately qualified for the crossbow exemption (*whew).
Anyway my advice: consult the doctor FIRST haha, to get the medical exemption.
Second question: Why buy a used crossbow?
