LOL Hotburn for pointing out how a manufacture puts a spin on things to promot their product

Actually I believe that the only major facture that cams give a shooter is to provide let off when drawing or holding back on full draw. This is not a factor with crossbows as the crossbow holds the string at full draw, not the shooter, but all the disadvantages are still there, but this thread was not about recurve or compound.

I am surprised how everyone says that once fired, an aliminum arrow is toasted, but I have never really seen that myself. I have never ruined an arrow when turkey hunting. I have ruined a few if I hit dirrectly into riocks. Even dirrectly into the head did not ruin the arrow (still use it today). I do use mechanicals and they work great (spitfires) for both deer and turkeys (with turkeys I add Scropios arrow arrestor on the shaft). Though once fired into game or earth, I will replace the blades. My arrows are the standard 2216 and the previous 2117 arrows from Excalibur. As for a scope, I use a regular rifle scope (which Excalibur put on when purchased 24 years ago, before the new scopes were around) and like the 3 pin sights with it. I actually wished that there were one or two more pins for sites (reverse recoil theory is pit to rest with my setup).

Hope this helps, any more question, just ask.
