This is true...On the other hand, take a a poll and see how many actually buy these things...About as many as would buy a 458 Winchester for the purpose of deer hunting...Few , few crossbow hunters are interested in this kind of firepower, favoring the more mid-line types of crossbows...case in point, Barnett makes a 375 FPS model which is very affordable..Checking out the crossbow threads you will find that few, if any, crossbow hunters use them, favoring the more mid-power Parker and Ten-Point bows, which actually cost more than the Barnett...Excaliburs( which are even less powerful)seem to dominate the market as well.
