awshucks

I've had several over the years, got three right now. They are fun to shoot and hunt with. They have been legal here in Ar. for a long time. It's no big deal here, everyone uses what they prefer. I used to shoot a vert until my shoulder surgery, also shot small time competition w/ muzzle loaders. My Excals are light enough I can shoot off-hand again. Most of the adverse comments you will hear about their use for hunting is the same as when thecompounds came on the scene in the early 70's. They are rapidly becoming legal in more and more states. I'd much rather see a hunter who doesn't have the time needed to stay in shooting shape w/ other types of equipment use a xbow. We live in changing times. Gas is over $3.00 a gal. lot's of folks are having to put extra time in supporting families, we need the new folks like ladies and younger hunters that the xbow seems to attract.
