Crossbows For Sale

Buy Crossbows: Best Deals From Trusted Sellers

Crossbows offer a unique blend of power, precision, and ease of use—making them a top choice for hunters and target shooters.

Unlike traditional bows, crossbows are held horizontally and use a trigger mechanism, allowing you to shoot with accuracy and less physical effort.

Remember: Do not use a regular arrow with a crossbow. Regular arrows are not interchangeable with crossbow arrows.

At Sportsman Finder, we help you find the best crossbows online. You can compare prices, check deals, and browse top brands—all in one place.

Crossbow Buying Guide: Find The Perfect Fit

Why You Should Buy A Crossbow?

A crossbow is a powerful and versatile tool used for hunting, sport shooting, and even survival situations. It combines the mechanics of a firearm with the feel of a traditional bow.

Unlike a regular bow, you don’t need to hold the string back. Just aim and pull the trigger.

  • Easier to shoot than compound or recurve bows
  • Great for hunting, especially during archery season
  • Legal in many states for deer and game hunting
  • A good option for beginners who want to learn archery

Types of Crossbows

Not all crossbows are built the same, and choosing the right type can make a big difference depending on how you plan to use it.

  • Recurve crossbows are the simplest and most traditional type. They have fewer moving parts, which makes them easier to maintain and repair. They’re known for their durability and reliability.
  • Compound crossbows are more modern and popular among hunters. They use a pulley system that reduces the draw weight while increasing the power and speed of the shot. These are great if you’re looking for high-performance and longer-range shooting.
  • Reverse-draw crossbows are a newer design that positions the limbs facing toward the shooter. This creates a more balanced feel and usually reduces noise and vibration. They offer excellent accuracy.
  • Pistol crossbows are compact, handheld models used mainly for fun or small games. They lack the power needed for big-game hunting but can be great for target practice or close-range pest control.

Top Crossbow Brands To Consider

When it comes to choosing a crossbow, brand reputation can tell you a lot about performance, reliability, and after-sale support.

  • Ravin Crossbows are known for their cutting-edge technology and compact designs. They’re a favourite among high-performance hunters who want premium features and pinpoint accuracy.
  • TenPoint is a top-tier brand with a long-standing reputation for quality and innovation. They offer a wide range of models, from beginner-friendly options to professional-grade crossbows packed with the latest tech.
  • Barnett is one of the most recognized names in the industry. They produce reliable, affordable crossbows with solid performance, making them a great entry point for beginners or budget-conscious hunters.
  • Excalibur specializes in recurve crossbows and is known for durability, simplicity, and raw power. Their bows are easy to maintain and are built to last, even in tough conditions.
  • Killer Instinct offers a mix of performance and affordability. They pack a lot of features into reasonably priced models, which makes them a smart pick for hunters on a budget.

Crossbow Regulations & Hunting Laws By State

Crossbow laws in the U.S. vary by state. Some states, like Arkansas, treat crossbows as legal archery equipment for big game hunting, while others, like Oregon, ban them entirely.

In many places, rules depend on factors like age, disability status, or completing a certification course. For instance, Alaska and Hawaii allow crossbows but may require training or a doctor’s note if used due to a disability.

Some states also set minimum draw weights or limit which animals you can hunt with a crossbow. Always check local regulations before heading out.
