I work at two military bases in San Antonio, Texas. I am also disabled and try my hardest to work, but am limited due to my conditions. I have had several surgery's and can no longer draw a bow or compound bow. So I too, would like to test your product. Deer season is flourishing here in Texas and South Louisiana, so I have the ideal places and other disabled vets to hunt with.

From my own experience the Ten Point Brand is the way to go. They have a double safety They have the cocking device right on the bow. The customer service, if you have an issue is outstanding. I will give you an example. On a 5 yr old bow I screwed up and caused a bow string to break. I was concerned about stress fractures on the Limbs. When I got it back I had all new limbs. Essentially they gave me a brand new bow. Now I still own a Horton which has an issue. I emailed Horton. I have called Horton. No one has gotten back to me. I called Ten Point explained my issue sent it in. It was returned to me in a week, if you don't know the front or limbs with cables and pulley came off as one piece. I am going to buy a new Ten Point and give this one to my brother. That is my experience. Ten Point makes a less expensive line of bows called Wicked Ridge too.I would see if you have a dealer by you so maybe you can compare. I know some people who are shooting Excalibur xbow and are very happy. I would get one with a scope. I would not go with Horton since they do not appear to take care of customers. Just my opinion. Have fun shopping Pat

I SHOOT A TENPOINT CROSSBOW, A TITAN HLX AND I LOVE IT. THE CRANK COCKING SYSTEM IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO. I HAVE SHOULDER PROBLEMS AND HAVE A PERMIT TO HUNT WITH IT IN MY HOME STATE,ND. I HAVE TAKEN 5 DEER, A FOX AND A FEW TREE RATS WITH IT. IT IS A LITTLE HEAVY AND I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE CLS MODEL AND SEE HOW IT WORKS. GO TENOINT!!

Due to rods in my neck and a bad shoulder that needs replacement, I can no longer shoot a regular bow. I would love to test this item out as I'm getting a permit to use a crossbow in my state (WI).

Would love to try a crossbow since I'm unable to draw my compound due to two torn rotator cuffs.

I don't think is as good as my Excalibur, but I'll test it anyway. It's sure more expensive.

I would like to test this product but I know I won’t get a chance to because I haven’t gotten anything in almost 2 years and they were cheap $1.00 items that you get to use once. So I spend over $2000.00+ to become a Trophy Life Member and pay for over price books and coins that I didn’t have the money for but figure I would have a better chance of getting something good but I didn’t. So when I said do not send me anymore books and coins I guess they didn’t want to send me anymore field test products because I’m not helping Mr. Miller and his buddies get to go on these great hunts. I join up for the magazine and free test product because I can’t afford these things but was extremely disappoint when all you get is cheap items at least the magazine is really good
