What would you recommend?

Unfortunately lots of guys buy xbows thinking just because they're accurate to 70+ yards they can shoot deer at those ranges. Even at 400+ FPS deer will jump the string and shooting 70 yards at the range on a rest and out in the woods are two different things. I stay at 45 yards as a max range and even then aim lower third of the chest on any shot past 35 yards. They are effective and completely legal in PA where I hunt. Majority of the guys at work, even those who were hard core compound guys have switched over at this point.
The Tenpoint wicked ridge is in around your price range and several guys from work use them and have good things to say about them. Most are using higher end Tenpoints or Ravins however. I'm utilitarian with archery equipment and have had pretty solid performance with Barnett, most recently the XP410 which shoots plenty fast and accurate for my needs.
I've been using Rage 2 blades for the last 5 deer I've shot with a Xbow and been amazed at the wound channel and blood trails. I picked up enough of the old style hypodermics on close out on Ebay that I will be set for many years to come. Some guys claim issues with opening, I haven't had any, even on a hard quartered to shot last year.
Good luck with whatever your choose, and hunt how you want, everybody's got an opinion, what matters is what you are satisfied with.

You're awsome thanks. I understand my ranges and most comfortable i have with my 7mm is 300 yards and any thing farther then 55 is 7mm territory so I definitely wont be trying to touch deer at 50 or even 40 and since my woods are close together then thats pretty good to. I will check out tenpoint ive never heard of them i have heard of Barnet but never used them.

I always wondered and have been amazed with broadheads so I definitely wanna choose some good ones and they just seem so cool to collect but I will look at those you said which im not to sure how they work but would you recommend ones that are folding or fixed? I figure fix might be be better then folding but yet again idk. I definitely will be happy with whatever I choose and I just wanna expand more into the hunting world and get a good crossbow and I have a amazing rifle and then I wanna get a good muzzleloader

Barnett makes some affordable solid xbows. A mechanical like a Rage hypodermic (i like the +p version for more sure penetration) will handle deer with authority. There are definitely fewer things you need to buy for crossbow hunting than normal archery. Still, bolts, broadheads, xbow case, rail lube and string wax, and a cocking rope as well as a xbow rated target to practice (and small one for your truck and a field point tipped bolt to discharge it after hunting) are typical minimum items.

Oh yeah definitely is Barnett a solid name but ive heard they have had some quality issues here with there more recent stuff. I figure bolts and broadheads and scope and then maybe a case to carry the bolts plus broadheads so they aint getting dull? Or is that a different thing? I didnt know about the wax or cocking rope or rail lube which I did figured a solid solid target. I havent did enough studying on how you discharge them so I'll have to look into that forsure

How did the deer react?

He was not thrilled with the experience.
This picture shows what that broadhead did to the plumbing coming out of the top of his heart. Completely severed everything, then cut through an off side rib. Never found the bolt.

Thats exactly how I would want my deer to look nice and cut and if that arrow would put it on the table even better lol. I just hear they dont do to good but I think it all depends on broadheads
