I am wanting to get a crossbow and was wandering if anyone has any expeiriance with arrow precision inferno crossbows? I am considering the wildfire II, and Barnet's ghost 350 or the buck commander. Any help would be appreciated.

Try them before you buy them. Get what feels good for you. Also listen to the noise they make, deer can " jump " the arrow. Welcome to the boards.

Welcome to the boards 3lane. I went to eBay and compared the prices and stats for several months, I also watched a lot of reviews on you tube on the popular brands and models. I was leaning toward the ghost 350 and went to cabellas to look at it. The salesman there pointed out his favorite, a Bowtech Stryker 380. He thought that the Ghost was louder. I did more research on the Stryker 380 and was impressed with it being lighter, faster, and narrower than the Ghost. I found one on eBay for the same price that Cabellas was asking for the Ghost. I was surprised to find it on my porch 2 days later.

I hunt a lot from a box blind and shoot through corner windows so the limb width was one of my concerns in choosing.

A little late but I would have suggested the Barnett. As far as my knowledge goes I do believe that Barnett is the oldest crossbow maker there is. I have the Barnett Quad 300 that I bought as package from Sportsmans Guide 9 years ago and the only thing I have had to do to it is change the cable/string. I have killed many deer and hogs with it and just for shooting fun we were shooting targets at 100 yards with it and it only took about 20 shots to start hitting the target. My personal long yardage for shooting at game is 45 yards. I will be looking to update with a new crossbow after this season and it will be Barnett's newest offering when they release the 2013 models. The best to you with the one you chose and as with all things that shoot remember to practice, practice, practice, and then when you are hitting the target where you want everytime then practice some more !!!
