The Burner 415 wasn't an option 2 years ago when I bought the Ripper.

Any reasons you went with the ripper 415 instead of the burner 415? They are almost identical price.
I have a Parker and am looking at getting a backup crossbow. My dealer moved from Parker to Killer Instinct Crossbow after Parker closed up shop. So I am looking at the KI brand now.
Whichever crossbow you purchase, make sure it has a crank on it. I think it will make a difference in the saddle/stand trying to reload it.
That being said, I have a Excal matrix 380 (love it). I am starting to crave a narrower Excal, but I've already invested in the matrix so I will stick with this.
I get it. I wouldn’t personally try to rope cock my matrix 380 from the saddle. Too many things can go wrong. But that’s just me.I respectfully disagree. The crank might be handy, but I am able to saddle hunt effectively without a crank.

Ya in a pinch I have recocked my Excal from the saddle it's not easy but not impossible.
Try wicked ridge g3. Light and low cost. It does have a wide spread so you have to work getting limbs around tree.For the last two hunting seasons, I borrowed a crossbow from my friend, switching to gun as soon as the season would open up. A new lease allows shotgun or archery only, so I'm looking into purchasing one.
Here my question: Can anyone of you share your experience with a crossbow package from either ****'s, Cabela's and/or Sportsman Guide. I'm looking at a budget between 400 and 500$. Is buying more expensive making a major difference? Recommendations? Suggestions? Concerns?
Thanks in advance!
If I wanted an Excalibur I would be looking at one of the takedowns. I would check out the hickory creek mini. I am a fan of the ultra narrow. Ten point, raven, and center point all make one. I ordered a centerpoint sniper for my son. For $229 it came with everything to broadheads. It can be decocked without discharging which is important to me. I’m not interested in having to carry a target every time we hunt. For me once you hit the $750 budget things get really cool but if spending less than that I wouldn’t spend more than $229.
