As far as which crossbow I would buy/own (again) Excalibur, hands down!!
I own a Ibex, very dependable, accurate, easy to set up and keep that way. Warranty is outstanding(never used it, hope that continues). It is somewhat cumbersome, but I would say that fits all crossbows as compared to a rifle or handgun.
