Is there a $300 xbow worth buying?

[GeauxLSU]

I can not believe how much cross bow prices have gone up. Seems like $300 was 'top of the line' when they were first made legal for hunting in Georgia. No way I'm spending $700+ on a setup. So is there anything for around $300 that is reliable and durable?

im sure there are just haven't looked for a minute though. Prices have gone up but you can still get something decent. Last one we bought was the Horton for right at 400 and has been absolutely superb so I would just keeping look around and im sure you'll find something to suit you.

I don't know if it's any good, but PSE has a crossbow package that's around $300 and there are a few Barnett's that are around $300-$400.

I just bought a PSE Fang for $299+tax from Academy Sports about two months ago. I'm very happy with it.

Have you ever had any other type, meaning do you have anything to compare it to? I'm clueless about all archery equipment.

Nope, first one for me. I just couldn't see spending a ton of money on one.

Wow!!! I've had a few crossbows. Currently a Horton Vision 175.... I think your buddy got lucky. Cant imagine my bows surviving that.

Don't go with the barnett 400 them things are stupid big and heavy ..when shopping for a crossbow, i think little so you can get trough the bush ..jmo though ..
