Aero, those excalibur crossbows are built like a a tank, fast, simmple, accuratte, quiet IMHO those are the best crossbows period!!
I agree wit you Alpha, I had a tract of land that I could hunt as my own for a decade, when the old man who own it passed away a couple of years ago lost permission to hunt it, then tried public land which is not abundant and filled with rude hunters who just don't care for other hunters, so i decided I would fish instead, kind of lost the fire to deer hunt, very different story when it comes to duck hunting though!!
