Im in the market for my first crossbow and have it narrowed down to the parker buck buster or the excalibur axiom. Im wanting a pretty flat shooting crossbow out to 30 yards. i like the axiom but the only thing that scares me away is its speed. I wont be shooting longer than 35 yards.
Not real familiar w/ BB, have shot a few. Am real familiar w/ Excals. Super simple, you do all your own maintenance.
Either choice will take any game in NA, w/ a well placed shot. I slowed my 350 fps Emax down to 328 and my 200# Y-25 from 330 fps to about 295-300. Benefits: less noise and vibration.
