Well the first X-bow I ever had was a very early version of the Ten Point called a Hunter I have had it since 1994 way before they changed there name to 10 point it is getting worn out but it still shoots good, the second one I got so I would have a back up was a Exocet Excalibur I have had it for 7 years without any problem they both are very accurate but the Exocet has much less maintenance but is just a bit more awkward in thick brush. Them Parker's are a bit tricky they really need the Pearson nock and a shaped solid aluminium 10 inch shaft for let down for the best longevity.
