[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5138959, member: 220"] Most of that stuff comes with them. They usually come with quiver, 3 bolts, and a soft case. All you really need if you don’t have one, is the target and broadheads. They pretty much come with everything you need. I still recommend going somewhere to shoot them. I was in exactly the same boat with the same price range as you have now. I looked into the ease of cocking as one of the big selling points. I didn’t really want a crank but Ten Point has the crank system spot on if you go that route...not sure if they implemented it into their Wicked Ridge line yet. It’s much better then Mission, and I think they have made it even better now by being able to safely let the string back down. You can do it on the Mission but you better have a death grip on it when you do. One thing I quickly found out is...they are extremely finicky on tilt/cant. Just being off a smidge in being level will cause huge variation in impact. A compound vertical bow is much more forgiving. If you shoot a crossbow on the bench or with a rest, you can be scary accurate out to 100 yards for target shooting. If I shoot it off handed, I might be lucky to hit a 3 inch dot at 30 yards. Btw...pulling bolts is a chore. They blow through bag targets and other types, they drive up in them so far that you don’t even want to shoot anywhere inside of 50 yards. [/QUOTE]
