EXCALIBUR!!!!
Why don't you tell 33pt buck what good and bad you saw in the other xbows you checked out before making your choice?
There are good points and bad points to everything. I shot several X-bows before I made my choice, which, I might add was a very easy choice to make after shooting the Excalibur. This is what he needs to do as well, and make his own decision on which bow suits his needs the best.

RE: Looking for a New Crossbow
 
First year for Crossbow season in VA last year, looked at Excal, Horton, & Tenpoint. Didn't like the feel of the Ten Pt. Purchased a Excal-Exomax, very accurate, great arrow speed and less moving parts. Did change mid season from aTruglow to a Excal4X scope. Extremely happy with it, 6 shots=5 deer and1 tree[:@].The only down side that I've found with the Excal is that you need more room for a shot (wider than a compound crossbow). If I had to buy another bow I would stick with the Excalibur.[/align]

I have posted this before but if you stay with the big three, Excaliber, Ten-Point, and Horton you will be happy. I personally shoot a Horton Legend, I recommend it highly.

Actually,you go somewhere you can actually hold and preferably shoot each one before you decide. You may find that one feels better to you than another.Maybe its the angle of the pistol grip, or the balance point, etc. That is for you to decide.

If you sight it in well and are consistent with your practice then they are all Nock busters. I have taken to shooting targets with several different bullseyes to keep from ruining arrows by hitting my previous shots.
