I'm thinking very seriously about ordering one.
I don't feel, the string and cable wear will be that big of a factor.
The bow comes with extras anyway.
As far as the Nov. 1 release, I believe, that was an information release.
Not a delivery date.
They're supposed to be available in another month or so but who knows.
I don't really care as I don't plan to hunt with one until next season anyway.
I'm not saying it will be a better bow than Excalibur or 10 pt but it appeals way more to me than either of those bows.
Appeal is everything.
