I haven't hunted with a crossbow in about 15 years. I used a Barnett back in the day and was happy with it other than the strings fraying on me. Perhaps I didn't wax enough.
Back to topic, which bow should I go with? I would like to keep the bow package price under 700 bucks. Since having shoulder surgery and having old eyes, I think this is the way for me to go.
From looking at reviews, the Barnett Ghost 350 scores a 4.9 out of 5 with 15 reviews.
MY next question would be are the scopes that come with these worth keeping them on, or would one be better off purchasing a scope and putting on it.
Thanks for the help.

The mission mxb 320 is getting fantastic reviews and the bare bow price is $599.
I have one ordered for my daughter.

I had the same questions back in the summer. I went to crossbownation.com and archerytalk.com and a ton of people said to give Wyvern a call at www.wyverncreations.com I ended up getting a wicked ridge raider for $670. I had considered a parker as I have a parker vertical bow but I think there customer service has went down hill a little and they have had some limb problems. Customer service was one reason I went with the wicked ridge. I also like the steddy eddy that tenpoint makes to attach to their bows. I bought a used steddy eddy on archerytalk and it was the old model. Tenpoint sent me a $40 conversion part for free. I also had to get new limbs because a shop here scratched them up changing the string. I was happy that Tenpoint required this shop to send the bow in and replace the limbs themselves. Turn around was very quick. A friend of mine just bought the Tenpoint Titan Extreme. You can get it for $599.

I love my excalibur matrix. Tenpoint/Wicked Ridge are good also. Can't go wrong with either
