First, I want to compliment Frank on the very impressive avatar. I also did not know he was using a crossbow at times. I prefer the compound, but I also have shoulder damage (different damage to each shoulder), but I can still handle #60 OK. Nice to pick up the crossbow once in a blue moon and still stick the center of the aiming spot. This is coming from a guy who was against legalizing the crossbow statewide for able bodied hunters. I might have one for next year, or a new bow. Can't decide.

The boy and I were in Cabelas Bargain Cave last night. They had quite a few Excaliburs and Hortons. The Excals were much lighter, but were also wider being recurves. The boy's is a Vixen, only 150# and not the fastest, but gets the job done. If I had $450 to "blow" on a toy, I could have had an Exocet 200. Not a Scorpyd, but half the price.
