Barnett recruit?
Can get one for 250
Also are crossbows relatively safe? I have never laid hands on one

They are not safe. At all. One minute you're sitting in your nice house enjoying a cocktail considering buying a crossbow, the next minute there is a loud explosion and you see your cousin Randy John running thru your rented 1974 single wide with half his face melted off after y'all's clandestine lab explodes into a ammonia laced fire bomb signalling the swat team who has been watching yalls arse to swoop down on what's left of your little ragtag bunch of toothless despots and lay enough charges on yall to put you in Huntsman for the rest of your days.

find a used Excalibur. no wheels/cams/cables/timing issues/c-clips etc. change string yourself. set brace height yourself. nothing to it.
a xbow is safe as long as the shooter practices safety.
sight in and don't shoot the same circle. you will ruin your arrows.

Are you physically disabled or over the age of 60? If the answer to either of those questions are no.... don't buy a crossbow.

I thought about getting into xbows so I can hunt during bow season ever since they removed the cripple requirement to own one in al

To answer the OPs question. I got a Carbon Express Xbow last year and it is great. To the rest of you, yes , I have a steel plate in my neck that made my old compound too much to draw and hold.

Watch your frickin' thumb on your off hand. Seriously, keep your thumb down so that you don't hit it with the string, you can damn near take it right off.
My future FIL did that a few years back with his, talk about a nasty looking injury.

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter. It's everything that you might need in a crossbow. She has a hard time actually cocking it with the rope device, so I bought the crank cocking device for it.
The thing is pretty damn accurate and over 300fps. It would be a great starter bow for anyone.

The Handicap3000 is a good model. Also look into the Paraplegic256...
