I don't have experiance with Ten Point, but I do with the Excaliburs, I don't doubt their claim of being the most accurate and reliable of all the hunting x-bows.
I have seen a compound x-bow explode on a dry-fire, not pretty. I can change the string on my Excalibur Exocet in my tree stand with no tools, and it has been dry-fired (160lb bow) with no problems. X-bows made for hunters, by hunters. Simple design that works well.

That being said, visit the crossbow forum here, there are some very knowledgeable people there, most are die-hard Excal or 10pt, lots of guys own other brands, but they can't really argue effectively against the 10pt or Excal guys.

Ten Point = top quality expensive compound
Excal = top quality affordable recurve
