the only one that i know of is the one pse makes its called the tac 15. they say the speed on it is 412. the only bad thing is that you need to hook it to a AR 15 loew receiver.

Mike, I think there is a video of the PSE Crossbow in action at the ATA Show. Go to their website and see it if it is there. It is scary impressive!

Talk to tjhunts2 on here I believe he used a crossbow for a year after his shoulder surgery.

My friends in PA have Tenpoints. http://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/ I know nothing about them but they might be worth checking into.

thanks for tac-15 suggestions but you must have ar-15 receiver for that baby to shoot on. i purchased lightly used parker cyclone. 353fps, adjustable length stock and pistol grip so i dont whack my fingers off due to string and my ape arms. fast bow crazy fast actually. speed rough on serving. i shot the bowtech max 4 ? 405-420fps i think you could smell string cooking for couple minutes after each shot. kinda scary x-bow. ive heard much praise on bowtech desert stryker about 350fps.

I just saw this post and got here late for giving any advise before you bought your parker cyclone. They have come a long way in developing these bows and like any bow it takes some practice to shoot with confidence. A little late but here is what I know, which isn't a whole lot, but I borrowed a Horton from a friend and had to shoot several differrent broad heads before finding one that would shoot straight. The rage was the worst grouping broad head I shot and the wack'em was the best for my setup. I'm sure every bow shoots differrent so practice and you will due just fine. I have a friend who owns a ten-point and it has a built in draw which is sweet. I was fortunate enough to shot a javelina, turkey, deer, and elk with it two years ago.

 

Good luck with your new bow and be sure and post some pictures of your success.

I personally own a Styker Crossbow. Super fast! Extremely accurate! Easy to use! I have shot many if not all other "Top of the line crossbows" and no others comes close to what Bowtec crossbows have to offer!

LOVED the bowtechs but little pricey for now. new to this an unsure of my future in crossbows. since i bought this cyclone x-bow i have found some sweet desert stryker deals. i just know the strykeforce would have been $1700+ otd., no way, not this year... some gr8 upgrades can be done to the strykers also. customized x-bows, i never would have thought i would be talking of such things.
