RE: Restring crossbows in the field
I shoot both. Excal is very simple to string, don't even need a press. You need a good press to do the Cyclone. It's relatively short limbs and separate in-limb cable pockets make the Cyclone a bear to press. Even the local shop has a hard time pressing this bow. I made my own press and can do it but don't look forward to it because of the short limbs and high draw weight.
