I'm looking into the idea of getting my father a crossbow for his 62nd birthday later this month.

He's rifle hunted most of his life so he's pretty familiar with shooting, but he's never had the experience of drawing back a bow or shooting anything closer than 40 yards.

My brother and I have gotten into bow hunting over the last couple of years and are now wanting to get back into the blind with him more and more. Hopefully getting him a crossbow will allow us the opportunity to do so more often.

• Budget: $500-ish
• New or used will work

Any direction or help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Make sure it is a quality brand. With a cranking device for the bow string. He will thank you for the crank. Good luck.

Makes sense, and thanks for the help. Any specific brands you'd recommend or stay away from?

I have an 2019 Ravin R10 that is the best on the market. Haven't taken it hunting once and sighted it in all the way out to 70yrds. Ill throw in the case with it as well as the 3 carbon arrows. All in its worth $1400 and Im asking $800

Could you share some specifics of your set up? I'm very interested at that price point. Both my shoulders are shot.

Sent you a PM. Let me know if you don't see it for some reason.

$219 is a steal! Wish I could've gotten in on that
