Best anti-dryfire there is is between your two ears. As far as falling behind I don't think they have to worry about that too much. They just hit the number 2 in sales this month and they don't make any cheep junk like #1 with their disposal crossbows. As far as High tech. Lets take a walk. You are going to your favorite tree stand and as you get to the wood line your bow string gets caught on a old peice of barbed wire that you never saw before bur sure enough there it is, Now you string is rouined. Well no deer hunting for you tonight as by the time you get home and change out your sting on you bow press its too late. Now here I come same thing happens I pull out my handy dandy rope sting changer pull it up slide off the old string slip on the new one let it down and I'm on my way. There are a million so called high tech problems that could happen. Remember the number one rule when hunting.(KISS) Keep it simple stupid and that's just what Excalibur has done. And that's why I bought from them. And I may not be an expert and just a newbie I have been around 56 years and I have learned that that KISS system is the best advice you could ever get.
