Toronto Sportsman Show
Hey guys. I was at the Toronto Sportsman Show today and I saw the new Excals (nice new camo) and the Middleton Crossbow.
I am not impressed by the Middleton bow. I watched the video at their stand and the guy dryfired over and over again. Mean while I looked down and one of their strings were frayed pretty badly. Hmmmm. Now this may sound funny but the Middleton bow doesn't have the gracefull look that the Excal has. They use a narrow laminated limb system which is why they can use a narrower limb. I didn't get the urge to pick the bow up. It may be a good bow but I'll never know.
I saw the video/ranger finder mount and it is very nice. I will be buying one when they become available.
I talked to Peter Belfour the marketing dude from Excal and asked if the new thumbhole stock will be fitted onto the Pheonix platform and he said it might in the future but they were testing the waters with the bigger bows. Of course I gave Peter some strings! LOL! The new camo looks just great!
