I agree that I am a newbie in the crossbow users bunch. I admit I have a lot to learn. And I do like the Excalibur. I also like the Middleton. I like Derrick Middleton's perseverance and I like what he is trying to do. He and I are both very small companies that are struggling to get noticed. There is plenty of room for all manufacturers of the crossbow, both recurve and compound.

And I am, like Wyvern, looking at being a manufacturer's rep/distributer of the Middleton here in the USA. I never said anyone looked down their nose at me, I just said Derrick Middleton did not. I have experienced this in other products, though.

Just because you like catfish, does not mean you cannot try tilapia.
