This is a tad off topic, forgive me, but I've had all I can take. Htoler, you have the Cadillac of compound crossbows, beyond a doubt. The 10 pt Pro-Elite is the undisputed ultimate. It has features that as far as I know aren't available on any other xbow, a dry-fire inhibitor, a grip safety and an automatic trigger safety that goes on when you cock the bow w/ the Acudraw. You also paid for all of these features. You also probably got a hard case w/ your set-up. I didn't get any of that w/ my two Excals. Didn't want it or need it. I've been putting a Win. Mod 97 on safe once I rack a shell into it for over 40 years, so I personally have no trouble w/ the manual safety on Excals. Bought a double rifle case at Mal-Wart for $18 that will transport my admittedly more bulky choice in Excals. However, I'm going to point out to you that I have less [not much] money tied up in both of my bows than you do in your choice. You have an Acudraw, at $200 or so, I have a couple of rope cockers for $19 each. Before anyone wants to debate a rope cocker vs. an Acudraw, I'm telling ya that I get more accuracy from them than I'm capable of using. I don't have to have my bows serviced or stuff changeds by Excal, I do it myself, which also opens up possibilities for me to tinker. I may be or not may not be your average xbower. The point I'm trying to make is we are all different. I will put either of my two Excals up against any hunting xbow made for accuracy. Don't care about mfgs claims, my proof is in the pudding and the freezer. And, I'll be the first to tell ya, if I get another xbow, it will be a 10 pt. They are well made and have an excellent reputation. You got what YOU wanted, we got what WE wanted. It all can be good w/o being the same. There is no One Best.
