Going to go with a Wicked Ridge Invader X4 by Tenpoint.
I've been wanting a crossbow since I lost the ability to shoot regular bows after my shoulder injury and had been considering a Barnett Raptor reverse crossbow until I read of the problems with them. They have subsequently been discontinued and another much more expensive bow has taken it's place. I preferred the reverse configuration due to it's more compact length, but now all of them are pretty much out of my price range.
So, I have decided to order the Wicked Ridge Invader X4 instead. It is nearly as light at 6.3 lbs and can be ordered in a package that includes their acu draw crank system that I must have in order to cock the string. It's quite a bit longer and somewhat wider than the Barnett and newer reverse bows but should suit my needs at a price of $670.
I'll post a report and more when I receive it.
