owning an excalibur and a horton trt ultalite i can tell you the horton is way more fun in the tree stand. width does matter alot. i wish they made a recurve xbow shorter in width. even if they had to cut the speeds a little. the excalibur stock is blocky and feels hefty.wish they had a light weight tactical stock for there models or at least something more stream lined and lighter in weight.
