Depends.... what are you going to be using the crossbow for? Target or hunting?

I'm new to the sport also...but you won't find a more knowledgable or friendly group than on this forum. Good luck!

Buy the best bow and accesseries that you can afford, buying cheap is a false saving. Try each xbow out at a dealer before you buy, and get the one that you are most conforable with in your price range.
Excalibur, Ten Point or Horton would be your best bet.

If you are shooting target, you should try a PointBlanc or a Vixen. Then look into GoldTip carbon bolts (arrows)

Just my 2 cents.

I would say $600.00 U.S.

Yep! I shoot GoldTip Laser II carbon bolts out of my Excalibur Vixen. Total arrow weight including the tip of 450 grains. Very stable shooting.

I let some GoldTip Laser II's rip outa my Phoenix today, with aluminum inserts... 310 feet per second.
