You can't change the string or other parts in Horton by yourself? Didn't think about that :/. I have no bow shops nearby, so would have to send the bow to maintaince.

Sounds like Horton splits people into two groups. Some say it works great with no parts breaking, others say the limbs break after just a few shots. Interesting, hmm. Horton seems to have a 3 year to lifetime warranty on limbs. At least in new 08 models. Cheapest bows have 3 year, and more expensive models lifetime. Of course it's a bit difficult to send bows to seller for warranty maintaince, the posts cost over 100$ per direction . So I think by ordering abroad, I have to forget the warranty.

Maybe I should take a look at excalibur models again. For some reason I'm not so facinated about recurve crossbows. But they are as powerful or?

I have been looking crossbows from : http://www.yeoldearcheryshoppe.com. Seems easy to order to Finland. I have never used ebay yet. For some reason can't make my email valid in PayPal. Just says message sent, and no mail gets there. Yet I trust more in stores than an individual seller. So, if there is more good candidates in this price group, tell me .

Excalibur seems to need a separate bow pakage. That makes it maybe a bit more expencive than those models I had in mind. But the price range I had thought would be around 400-600$. Customs takes there share and adds VAT + their own fees, so I will pay about +27% tho those list prices . But about 400-600$ on list price.
