re: Best crossbow for under 300 bucks?

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.
