I would recommend an Exocet, no cables/wheels/pins to replace down the road. I read somewhere that the manufactures recommend cable changes every 3 years or so. All I've done with my Excalibur Wolverine over 21+ years of hunting use is change the string. Shoots as good today as it did 21+ years ago. I've not seen anyone writing about their 20+ year old compound crossbows. Get an Excalibur, you will be able to pass it along to your grandson or granddaughter, if they can pry it out of your hands,

they will last a long . . long time with awesome accuracy and reliability, with minimal maintenance.
