I found a Horton Scout 125 Crossbow for $299.95.
But that's a new one, and a little more than I was hoping to spend.
But it's a thought.

I just briefly looked into bows and bow hunting. In my state (Washington), to hunt with one legally it has to be rated to at least 50 lbs or something, so something to look into. Of course if it is a survival situation - not so much.

Reminds me of the old Far Side cartoon where the two guys are out fishing and in the background are 4 or 5 mushroom clouds.

“What does it mean Harry!? I’ll tell ya what it means. NO size restrictions and SCREW the limits!”

I’m seriously considering a crossbow myself now that its legal to hunt with one here. I also have shoulder issues which takes a traditional bow off the table.
