RE: Choosing my Excalibur..
I think I have come to grips with not owning the Emax, my biggest concern was not having to calculate for the faster drop off of a slower crossbow, I now understand that after a certain speed it really has no effect. That, and the fact that a Phoenix and Ecocet are not exactly "slow" Crossbows.
Yesterday evening my son and I went for walk through the bush,I brought my old wooden Astro and he had his fiberglass bow, he is 4. We wanderedour bush for a while following rabbit trails and talking about deer very quietly.. A few minutes later we rounded the bush into a freshly combined corn field and there stood 4 deer. My son took both of his arrows out of backpack and quietly laid them down on the ground beside his bow, leaned against my leg and we stood there for about 20 minutes until the deer moved on.
It's an omen, if in fact omens do exist.
