"And by the way, 4 of the top 5 sinners at the recent IBA shoot were.....EXCALIBUR.
Narrower? Yes. Easier to maintain? No. More durable? No. Faster? Only if matched in pull weight. More accurate? Apparently not!!!"

I dissagree...the rules are such that Excal is one of the few bows that fits the rules and the "let down at the line" eliminates most all of the compounds. That and most of the competitions Excal has won are done in Canada so that right there eliminates many of the US competitiors from showing up in force. The only real "accuracy" advantage is that off hand the Excal are lighter so they are easier to hold steady, but from a solid rest they are no more "accurate" than any other good quality bow out there. If you are the vast majority of the bows in the competition and you win most of the spots all it really says is that for that particular form of shooting Excal is probably the best choice. Personaly the idea of going to a competition and having to pull an arrow that is shooting much faster than the majority of the people beside me out of targets that are hard as stone does not thrill me much, so I also would be inclined to shoot a slower bow just for the ease of arrow removal factor alone. Beyond that, they all have their pros and cons and personaly I can drill holes at distance tighter with my SF than I can with any of my other bows including my Excal, so the accuracy claim is moot...they all are good in that department, it depends too much on what fits the shooter best.
