What makes a bow better for you or shall I ask, what do you want in a crossbow? If you answer those questions then we might be able to answer your questions better.

I got a opinion...O-wait mine dont count ..........If it fits you and feels like apart of you buy it.....Its just like buying a Vertical bow,you have to feel comfortable with it.

Don't discount the Ten Points and Great Lakes bows.

I can only tell you what I did having zero archery experience until a few months ago. I bought an Excalibur Vixen with the factory package. I practiced a little(very little) and I can shoot a sub 2-inch group at 40 yards. I have not modified the bow other than doing a camo job on it. I don't know if other brands are better or more accurate, but this one is good enough for me.

Depends on what you are looking for,I have had 4 x bows now I make my choice between 10 point and Excaliber they make quaility xbows AND stand behind them.My persoonal opinion is dollar for dollar none come close to Excaliber. Lee
