The only 200lb Excal I see listed is the Exocet 200. It goes up to the Equinox and Ecomax or down to the 175lb and lower CBs from there. Did I miss one? I will be using whatever I get for deer, elk and bear hunting. I have no problem going with a lighter CB as long as it will get the job done. I dont want to leave any wounded animals behind. I guess its the same as rifle hunting and depends on where you hit it. The .308 I use works just as well as a 7mmwhen you take a head shot.
A lot of the user say Excal instead of writing out the full name Excalibur.

A lot of things need to go into making a selection. If you hunt from a treestand or other structure, is there room to move the bow you are looking at? If you stalk hunt, how much will the bow weight at the end of the day(how is it balanced)? These are a few of the things that no one but you can answer for you. Like it has been stated, go someplace and handle (shoot) as many different crossbows that you can, then think about how you will use it. Check accuracy with others in group. Then make your choice. Don't forget to get one that looks good also.
