I have an Ecal Exocet 200 I bought when xbows were legalized here in PA.
Due to heavy work schedule & overlapping fishing seasons it hasent seen the deer woods yet. I hope this year to carve some time out. It's a blast to shoot!!

I've had my TenPoint Titan since my first shoulder surgery, which was before they were legalized for everyone. It has not only seen deer in the woods but has actually harvested a few. The first one was in 2007.

Bought a Parker Hornet last year and here is the result of that: It also allowed me to go hunting with my daughter again.

She killed that buck about 8 AM or so, after I dropped her off at a little ground stand she picked out a few weeks earlier.
When we checked a trail cam under an apple tree, down the mountain, there was a pic of this buck at 5:30 AM that morning on the camera! Probably a good 500-600 yds from where she killed him.

I bought a Parker Buckbuster 150 in 2009 after having back surgery in July of that year, love it. I'm back to being able to shoot my Mathews and carry it most of the time now since my son has claimed the Parker. I do carry it sometimes when he's not hunting with me though.
Another crossbow is on my wish list and when I have the funds available I'll decide which one to get. My daughter wants to start hunting too so I may have to decide soon.

One thing about a crossbow, I do not enjoy lugging them around. Plus, you can't use flu flu's to hunt grouse with them. LOL

The one Brad told me to get, lol. Loggy, in all seriousness, I drive a Jeep. After 5 years, I have heard enough from Brad to know that its a Liberty.
Brand names, models, etc have never been important things to me because I know others out there have far more knowledge on those things than me.
Called DennyF one day because I needed a part for my rifle. Didn't know what the thing a ma bob was called, but I could describe it; and he knew right away what it was.
We all have our puropse in life. Mine isn't remembering things like that. hahahaha.

I use a TenPoint Stealth model with a red dot scope. It's way too much crossbow. I swear if I could get a buck and two does to line up side by side I'd tag out with one shot. Wicked awesome!!!

Now one of my brother's wants one. He hasn't hunted archery since the early 80's, but would like to go back down behind the house after work.
He said he always hated ending his season early by shooting a deer in bow season. He did that back in the 80's and did not do much bowhunting afterwards.
I think he might enjoy the warmer weather of fall vs the deer rifle season?

I have more guns than I need but not all that I want! Ten Point Titan. Bought it second hand three years back when faced with a second shoulder injury and no archery season.. Crossbows are great but they are not as advantageous as many make them out to be. Heavy, a pain to lug around, no second shot. Takes me probably a minute or more to get it reloaded and with all the movement I doubt any deer would hang around that long.. Plus, when I am healthy I can shoot my compound just as well at 20 yards.
