Its built by Excal, thats says it all! Great company great products. One thing about Excal you don't just buy a Bow, you invest in a company. I have owned 5 of them & have 2 right now! I ain't never owned a compound CB!

They don't make a compound CB that i would trade fer my old vixen ! I ain't selling nor trading it fer another model Excal either. I will just buy another one Don't aim at same spot on a target & shoot fer groups chances are you will be buying more arrows!

The 175 lb bows will do really well on targets and moose. Where in Canada do you live?

I live in Quesnel B.C.

I want to shoot targets mostly but i might want to do some hunting once i get used to shooting a crossbow. I had a Hou Shiegh i probably spelled it wrong, anyways i shot it once and the limb got a crack and i fixed it, then i shot it again and then the trigger would go off randomly so i fixed it, then when i shot for the 3rd time mind you, the bowstring blew up in my face.
