TP:
As far as the crusader goes, I really cannot give an opinion as I have never shot one. I do own a Falcon and a Falcon Special. The Falcon Special is my " shoot all the time bow" and I love it. Very smooth, and no handshock. My Falcon has a little handshock but the Falcon Special has a Cocobolo riser and is much heavier in mass weight.
I have shot quite a few bows over the last couple of years and many cost 3 or 4 times as much as my Falcon special, but none really shot appreciably better (for me).
I am currently thinking about a Hunter II, but it is just because I think having a TD would be fun to mess with. I may WANT other bows for various reasons, but I can honesly say that with the Falcon Special, I would never NEED another bow.
Here is a link to some pics. 60" , 48#@28" , cocobolo riser, red elm limbs.
