Looking for a crossbow

I would like to buy a crossbow for deer hunting. In my state disabled hunters are allowed to hunt deer with a crossbow.
I see 150# crossbows for prices from $59 up into the thousands.
What would you suggest? Keeping price in mind.
I can't get one of the high dollar crossbows.

    I just bought a Horton SteelForce to get set up for next season.Something that I learned was the one I bought is not a compound,and it is 150 pound pull and it is a bear to cock.I bought a cocking device that cuts the force required to cock it in half and it made it a breeze to cock.Most crossbow companys make a cranking device that takes about 5 pounds,but they are pricey,125 bucks up.Just something to think about.
