For a beginner: a CHEAP one. You don't want to spend 1500 on a magnificent crossbow package and find out you don't really care for it.

Mine is an Excalibur Axiom. I paid around 500 for it. It's a recurve rather than a compound but it puts bolts through stuff just fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. I'd like to stick to that $500 budget for the exact reason you mentioned.

Are the sub $300 compound bows any good?
