Looking for any advice on what to look for in a crossbow. I live in Ohio, were you can hunt with a crossbow. I started shooting my bow getting ready for the season, I have shoulder issues but I didn't realize how bad they are. I am having trouble pulling my compound bow and shooting tight groups. It just might be time to make the switch. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, I have never shot one1

I would say, with the shoulder issues you probably want to get a crossbow that has a cocking device built in and try to keep weight down. Don't get caught up in the crazy screaming speeds. The pricing is really all over the place. I've had my PSE Fang for probably about 15 years now. Just a basic bow with no cocking device. Grouping is stil fantastic (I end up ruining more bolts practicing then hunting from bolts taking the fletchings off or bending from hitting each other), but I'm actually keeping an eye out for an upgrade. 9 back surgeries later even drawing it with the draw cord can be difficult.
