BTW if you cannot assemble an Excal you are retarded but assembly is hardly important. But there is hardly anything you cannot do yourself on an Excal, they are simple. I bet that the Excal is the only bow you can dry fire and probably still have a working bow in your hands but who cares really unless you intend to dry fire it like I did five years ago! LOL, yes a maroon but I assembled the Excal myself! If you are going to shoot the hell out of your xbow get an Excal or Ten Point. If you are going to shoot to hunt and practice most xbows will last a lifetime. The only reason I offer more info on Excals is because that is where my experience lays. I do not know the others in depth but can only relay observations on others. It does not say much good or bad about the others.
