I bought an Excalibur Axiom kit. It was reasonably priced and came with 4 bolts, cocking mechanism, scope and quiver. It is simple in design but rugged as it is essentially a recurve bow with a scope and shoots over 300FPS. It is legal in NH during the gun season with a CB license and I have practiced enough so I am comfortable to 50 yards.
I thought I might have trouble cocking or uncocking it as I have arthiritis in the spine but with the rope (with pulleys) supplied it is easy and not a problem for me. There are very low maintenance requirements and the instructions plus free video are very informative.
I still have to quiet it down some and it is heavy so if you have a long walk to a stand you might want to wait and cock when you got there as it's easier to carry that way. It is fun and I am happy with the brand and the string seems to hold up well as some of the other crossbow makes (like Barnett) require a string change frequently as they wear out fast (like every 50-100 shots!).
