[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 4110047, member: 1546"] Yes, you should. It will allow you to increase the number of days in the field. Some crossbows have a crank that allows one to "cock" it with the ease of reeling in a fish. I don't know if any (crank models) are under $700 new but I am sure one could be found used for your budget. I am not a fan of expandable broad heads and I see first hand a couple dozen reasons every year. Most crossbows have a safety to prevent dry firing. Most have shield/guard to keep the shooter from raising thumb up in the pathway of the string while shooting. These are important. Many of the crank models allow a hunter to "unload" without shooting. You can shoot a bolt into the ground to unload but you risk damaging a bolt if you hit something hard or burying fletching into the ground. [/QUOTE]
