here's another vote for EXCALIBUR ! just one of the many reasons is their customer service dept. one day i needed 2 screws for the aperature on my peep sights and the owner of the company (Bill Troubridge) happened to reading the the forum where i posted my request. he read it, sent me a pm and shipped those 2 little screws to me that very same day. there is no complicated registration of your bow when you buy it to recieve warranty repair work(that's a joke in itself since excalibur reliability is number one). Bill Troubridge is a crossbow hunter and a pioneer in our choice of weaponry for hunting game. save yourself a lot of headache and heartache. GO EXCALIBUR !!
