I have bowhunted for the last 18 yrs. Well, my shoulder is starting to get to the point where i just cant draw and the doc is starting to talk about presribing me teh ability to shoot a crossbow.

Never been a crossbow fan so never have educated myself on them. Well, if i cant hunt with a vertical bow and still to "young" to hang up the boots... and i know i still need teh adreneiline rush of bowhunting...well, this may end up being my alternative.
So... this may be a foolish question, kinda like asking if a remington or winchester is better, or mathews or hoyt.... but what i would like to know is what are teh better crossbow (maker and model) out there. I looked at some Ten Points, Horton and Excalibers today but quickly realized i was clueless. All these yrs of rifle, bow and muzzleloading hunting i can talk day about.... but clueless in this realm. Any educated or experinced info is appreciated.

Thx!
