Son-in-law's family has a place next to a river which is full of hogs.......just a crying shame 
Bad, lots of houses near by so I'm going to buy and use a crossbow. The only problem is, I know nothing about crossbows and the prices range from $399.00 - $ 2,000.00.
I need the following features:
Reliable 50 yds or less human kills
Low maintenance
Good trigger
Decent optics
Lightweight as possible
Any help, tips, tricks, etc is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
