Hi Jersey Hunter. Am sure you recognize me from NJH. I've been a xbow advocate for almost a year, now. As you already know, I am a non-hunter, but I am "pro" hunting, fishing, etc. For myself, I hope to get a xbow, eventually. Wish to use one for target shooting. Have been shooting handguns for 28 yrs, but would like to expand on that with a bow and the xbow would be the only kind of bow that I might be able to use. I am unable to pull back the min Wt required using a compound. And, of course, I could never pull back using a recurve, but they are beautiful bows.
Have shot 4 xbows, but so far haven't found the right one for me. Problem is they have been too heavy. Hope to be able to try the Vixen and Phoenix, both by Excalibur. And, who knows, I might even get out in the woods, yet. Have a few nephews who want to get me out there, LOL!! As of now, I have some personal commitments that I have to tend to before I even attempt to get out there. I would also like to see "all" bowhunters unite to have a large voice against anti groups!!
