For the long term crossbow success and enjoyment
-I would stay away from the wheels and cables. May have problems sourcing cables after a few years.
-You need a press to change strings/cables on most compound crossbows. Hard to do field changes if required
-More mechanical moving parts to fail over time.
-Check length of warranty, Check country of origin
-Check your game laws for specific requirements, lenght of draw. poundage etc
-Be practical, don't get caught up in the "Cool" factor
-Last but not least -Don't buy until you try if shop won't let you shoot it, go some where else.


I'm biased though, I have a 150 lb recurve crossbow bought new 21+ years ago. Lots of hunting with just string changes over the years. It broke the front leg of one deer as the arrow exited the deer, never found the arrow. I would recommend anyone of the Excalibur bows, I just bought a 2009 Exocet 200 and am quite happy with it, son is getting old enough to hunt, hes going start buy using the old dependable 21+ year old Wolverine.
