We were at our annual regional Pinewood Car Race today and the host Church has several outside events set up, one of which was an Archery shoot. They were using Mathews Genesis bows and the boys loved them. Some had never shot archery before and were immediately hooked.
So my immediate plan is to try and score some Genesis off of ebay. I was looking for a good crossbow and naturally thought about Excalibur. I looked at the Pixel and the Apex and liked to blacked out when I saw the prices! Checked around on the net for used ones but could never find any. $469 to $500 for a 40lb crossbow is a little out of my price range!

I did find a few Horton Eagles (25lb pull) crossbows and they're in the $225 to $250 range. Geez, looks like a suction cup crossbow may be as close as they get to shooting a crossbow! lol
I do have a Vixen, but I would want them to be a little more experienced before letting them shoot that. Which is the whole idea behind lighter poundage crossbows to begin with.
Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations. They'd be greatly appreciated!
