Hi,

I'm new to these forums. Did a google for a crossbow forum and you were the first hit.

Presently I am not a crossbow owner but will be soon. I hoping you will be able to help me make a good choice. Crossbows are still illegal here in NY[:@]but that may change soon. I have an opportunity to hunt in O' Canada where they are legal. But finding a crossbow mentor around here is out of the question.

I have never bow hunted either so I am leaning toward an Excaibur recurve. Not having the experience with compounds I fear I may not spot small problems before they become serious problems? Does that sound like good logic? I welcome all ideas and I look forward to visiting with you.

Welcome here! You said the majic word Excal!Yes i push them, as they are a quality CB. Simple easy to use and cock change string on set brace heigth. Have best warranty in the business. Maynot be the fastest whiz bang sparkle lighter but they're fast!

Welcome to the forum!! You can't beat Excals! www.bowhunterssuperestore.com has the best prices but a credit only policy on returns, so be sure of what you want before you get it. I have an Emax and it's a beast, it sits and watches me shoot my Phoenix!! The Excal V-zone [unlit] and L-zone [lit reticules on demand] are the best available sight options bar none.

Oh yes their accuracy is legendary! Light weight, tough! Dragon Slayers! Not a measly vampire killer or mouse eliminator![][:-][8D]
