Hey all,

This past year I suffered a shoulder injury that has thrown my compound adventures out the window for the time being. Having never hunted with a crossbow and knowing limited information about them in general, I am hoping that you could offer some advice on what crossbows you recommend and why.

For some context, elk and deer would be the target species and I typically do not like to hunt from a stand if that sways any suggestions nor shooting pass 50 yds with my current compound or my future crossbow I would assume.

Through my research it looks like the best option would be a bow with a cocking device that will limit the amount of # to draw it...

My local shop mainly carries excalibur and tenpoint crossbows but am open to any suggestions/recommendations!
