i have been a deer hunter for years and have been sucessful at it with both bow and gun.i am now 61 and the bow had to go,just too stiff and have a bad back.i live in indiana and they now are allowing us to use crossbows all season long so that is my next adventure.i have never bought anything without researching and comparing the item i intend on buying.i guess you can call me anal about things.well here are my questions..........where can i get reviews on the different bows,i do not want to spend a foretune but i also do not want junk.what do you reccomend and why.please advise what you think and if you have one you might want to get rid of.thanks old semperfi

Parker makes a great x bow. I spent a lot on mine but it's deadly!! My buddy has the new ghost about half the price coming in around 650 and it shoots well to but u can tell the difference! I own a tornado
