[QUOTE="Heath423, post: 4801813, member: 19295"] 1. Safety wings above the foregrip to protect those fingers. Most have these I believe. I would not want my kids to learn to shoot one without them. 2. Anti-dri fire mechanism for obvious reasons of safety and protection of limbs and string/cables. 3. Cocking method. Manual rope pull will require more arm and back strength verses a mechanical cocker that aids in cocking which reduces strength needed. I personally decided to go with the compound type crossbow to help keep the physical size smaller. Therefore I went with TenPoint branded bows based on reviews and comments from forums. Just like the 2 individuals commented before me, Excalibur brand would be my suggestion to you if I chose recurve style crossbow. Less maintenance and I think you could change your own strings without any special tooling unlike the compound type. Whatever you choose, I highly recommend going to your local bow shop or retail store and get your hands on a few and shoot them (recurve, compound and reverse draw compound). Like everything in life, they all have a different feel and balance in your hands. That will help with making your decsion. Good luck with your search and this new endevour. They are very enjoyable to shoot and use. [/QUOTE]
