Crossbow question

[DUCKMASTER1]

Ok, due to back problems, I have been forced to hunt out of ground blind. I have a compound bow, but not a good set up for me with a compound bow.
So I shot Woodies 10 point cross point, loved it.
But on a tight budget, so looking for a good crossbow under $500.00, I know that limits me, but to start off with one, I want to keep the price down.
So looked at wicked ridge, made by 10 point, and also looked at Barnett, they seem to have good reviews.
So I need help from you guys, always get straight up answers and honest ones from everyone on here.
So any help would be great.
I would like one with a good scope, camo, and would like to have the rachet draw cords. but can add later, arrows and tips.
Thanks for any help
Brian

For $500 I would buy this bow and this is who I would buy it from..

Dave will treat you right and throw in 3 more carbon arrows and free shipping

The bow has a built in cocking device.

Ten Point/Wicked Ridge are a hunters bow. Not the fastest, but dependable as it gets. Customer service is tops. I have the TP Titan Extreme. It starts at $599 depending on cocking device. A huge step up from the WR Warrior and Invaders I shot. With their string stop kit, it is almost as quiet as a loud compound bow. I also have an Excalibur Matrix. Wider, louder, and lighter. More money too. Parker also makes some decent xbows. Have a couple buds with them, no complaints. Very dependable also. Stay away from Barnett, oh did I say that. Lol. Basically any modern bow THAT FITS YOU and is comfortable will be fine.

I bought a wicked ridge raider from wyvern a few years ago. I added the steddy eddy to it which I really like. I have killed 3 turkeys out of a ground blind with it. Also killed a deer on the ground but I was just sitting in a fence row. Crossbows really open up the ground hunting opportunities.

I am very happy with my PSE Fang crossbow I got this summer for $300. It is narrow and light weight. It came with the string stoppers. I upgraded the scope and bolts. I've owned some Wicked Ridge crossbows and they are very nice also.

Dicks has a Barnett on sale right now half price. Under $300. Can't remember the name of it and know nothing about it, but it might be worth checking out.
