Hotburn that was a great post for your bow of choice. It sounded like an infomercial. Whats your sleep number?I think the question should be is there a bow we would not buy? I get the impression that all the major players make a good bow and the choice is akin to the old Chevy/Ford or Remington/Browning question. Price sure comes into play as some cost more than a mortgage payment but probably don't kill any cleaner than a cheaper bow. It's not what you hit them with, it's how you hit them. You should howeverbuy an Excalibur just cause those Canadians produce so little and we should help those in our suburbs to the north.I have only had to replace the limbson my Pheonix oncein the 10 weeks I have had it. I think that might have been due to loser error.I am serious when I ask if there is a bad bow out there? >>>>>>>>Whack!
