After two knee replacements and a torn labrum I took the easy way out and went to a "cross rifle", I am not offending anyone who choses to hunt with a crossbow I am glad you are in the woods it just was not for me so I bought a Mathews Image, I was not overwhelmed by the price of the bow but man the accessories are really high priced, it's all wealth it I have been impressed with the bow and will take a couple of does this week before I head to Ks.
