I don't know about the crossbow, but I can help you with the wheelchair. This one is top of the line.

To properly answer I need to know if you smoke your meth out of a pipe or foil.

What exactly are you looking for?

Are we talking about shooting arrows on fire behind the meth shed, or more of a baseline handicapped hunting for whitetails type crossbow?

Don't let them bust your balls. I would look into either 10 point or Parker. 10 Point for simplicity and Parker for their trigger. I'm sure their are other great companies but those are the ones I've played with a bit. I haven't been impressed with Barnett but sample size for me was small enough that maybe its just me.


And just for the hell of it before I run off to coach some pee wee football I'll leave this here.

From an ethical standpoint crossbows are far superior due to their ease of accurate shooting. Those of us who use compound or traditional are putting our own satisfaction in the way of ethical kills. You are far more likely to wound/lose a deer with a bow than a crossbow.

Agree with the 10 point. Mine had put a lot of venison in the freezer. Mine lives grim reaper 100 grain broadheads. If its within 40 yards, dead deer.

You'll catch hell from the compound bow baws...they despise crossbows because it's not "primitive enough"

Meanwhile, they use compounds that shoot 400fps, rangefinders, binoculars, scent killer, top of the line camo and hunt 30' up a tree.

I don't mind someone having negative feelings about crossbows vs compounds but don't bring being primitive into the conversation.

When someone bow hunts with a recurve; I'll listen to their point of view on crossbows.
